1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

How many communities do you have blocked? (lemmy.world)

My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don't want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn't seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

I just counted it yesterday. 500 communities (for a large part porn, anime and foreign ones) and 550 users.

Still waiting for someone to come up with uBlock filter to also block threads linking to specific websites.

I have that feature in the app i use. Sync.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah many apps have features natively that I need to come up with workarounds for. I personally just don't want to use an app for something I can also do in browser. The less apps I have on my phone the better.

Wow that's a lot of users!
