Sorry about that, some people don’t know ani.social exists and create comms on the wrong instances. They’re supposed to show up in my local feed, but now they’re in yours and you don’t even appreciate them!
Also PieFed allows blocking all users across an entire instance, whereas Lemmy does not (I know that you know that, but in case it helps anyone else reading:-P).
When you block that many groups how many new posts do you see? And how do you sort the posts?
I have only blocked a few groups but added a filter for posts containing trump or elon in the title as I get plenty of that crap from other sources.
Regarding the anime and furry posts, they come in waves so it’s not constant or if I want to get a break from the yiffing I switch between sorting by Hot, Scaled and Top 6hrs.
Not who you are asking, but I block a lot of communities (almost all of them political, when I want to look at political stuff I will go to other sources.) But I also sub to a lot of communities. It is possible for me to reach the bottom of my feed, but since I mostly check it between doing other things, it takes anywhere from a few hours to most of the day. And that’s with me setting it to “Top Day” as my primary filter. If I’m really bored I’ll do a pass through Top Week or Top Month. If I’m STILL bored, I’ll set it to Active or New Comments, but usually by then it’s like, “Okay time to go do something else” and I’ll try to find some other activity to do.
After you block a few hundred groups of anime and nonsense it’s surprisingly enjoyable.
HOW MANY MORE MOES DO WE NEED???
Six or seven?
Who is moe and why is her midriff so popular???
Isn’t moe the bartender in the simpsons?
I have no idea but every once in a while they’re interesting.
At least 1 more than the fucking aigen communities, I swear I have to block a new one every week.
What if I told you at least 50% of the moe communities content are aigen 🥹
Just means I have blocked them! If it has ai in its name or only posts ai generated content, its gone (except fuck_ai, for obvious reasons)
IDK, lets keep going until we find out!

Block the ani.social instance and it takes away 90% of the anime groups.
i just blocked lemmy.world and my feed is immediately 20x better
I was very supportive of Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world early. It’s lovely.
Still waiting for an app with curated block lists.
Piefed has keyword filters, that can already help a lot with filtering

Doesn’t bluesky do that?
Maybe, idk
They do.

This is a feature, not a bug IMO.
I’m still mad at the 196 mods for causing even more 196 commies to be made for me to block.
