I seriously. I’m for realiously. I got like 8 different furry subs in my block list and filtered out terms like ‘yiff’ etc. You’d think the algorithm would have picked up that I’m not interested in that shit but I still can’t scroll a half hour without a wolf boner adorning my screen.

I know I can simply block all NSFW content but that’d just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

    Filter your home Feed by Subscribed only, not All so you’ll be sure to only see the stuff you want to see.

    That’s how I use Piefed/Lemmy and if it was not for that filtering tool, I would have given up a long time ago… Too much noise and too much weird stuff ;)

      Yeah, I just don’t think that trying to view everything posted to the Threadiverse and blacklisting what one doesn’t want to see is really something that will scale.

      Like, imagine viewing a combined feed of every Web page that someone puts up anywhere on the Web. That’s got a lot more volume than the Threadiverse does in 2026. The signal-to-noise ratio is just going to be unworkable.

      Maybe someday, someone will build a recommendation system that profiles users and tries to suggest what they want, but I’m pretty bearish on the prospect of individually-curated killfiles. It didn’t scale on Usenet and that had clients with more-powerful blacklisting functionality than do Threadiverse clients in 2026.

      I really think that as of 2026, the most-scalable route is whitelisting what one does want to see. Find communities that have content that one is interested in, subscribe to those, browse Subscribed.

      I know it’s because I don’t have many, but my subscriptions are pretty much dead (somewhat niche stuff). More general stuff (like this comm that is not hard to find anyway due to activity) feels like filler and some other comms I might visit might have stuff I don’t want to commonly see (like new accounts made for blatant self-promotion).

      Relates to @zxqwas@lemmy.world and @whaleross@lemmy.world (why someone would be browsing /all)

        A lot of mines are too and that’s ok with me. I mean, I don’t need new/fresh content every minute, or every day. For me it matters a lot more to not be annoyed by low quality content and not waste my time with those. Time I can then spend elsewhere/doing something else than scroll ;)
