I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!

    ?

    I don’t see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?

      Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one… Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting… 😐

        Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.

          Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

            Block the instance

            Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don’t. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren’t local

              I’m with you on this. That may not be the intent, but it sure as hell is the vibe they give off.

          Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.

          Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.

            I got the impression it’s just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.

        I had to do this for US politics but I don’t recall when I last saw an anime related post.

      It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.

      Yes, OP’s post is unpopular.

      I would also like to sign up for Anime news and updates.

      Please lmk how to do this.

        For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on “all” (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by “hot” (the default).

        I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.

        …And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn’t even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.

        Barely a single pair of anime tiddies among the whole lot. What a drag.
