Similarly to how the first 2 years were spent on Reddit, I’m ONLY blocking American centric communities. I don’t to see your food, listen to your politics or complaints…but they’re everywhere. When will it end? Will I be able to happily scroll in 5-10 years without being harassed by news of a dying civilisation that I could not give a shit about? I thought Lemmy would be different….

I’m here to read humour, tech/science news and to make terrible puns.

I’ve blocked everything to do with tariffs, Trump, Vance, Musk, Linux and anime. It’s slim pickings.

Everything as long as it isn't bigoted or asinine. Mostly just looking to laugh and make others laugh.

I don't blame you. If it did not matter so much for my well being I would do the same. As for me I block meme and sports mostly but also niche communities im not a part of.

If a post doesn't have many comments I try to say something to kick off engagement, otherwise I mostly browse

If I'm going to block a community I tend to upvote the last few posts as a parting gift.

I'd just ask for whatever ones you're interested in on one of the comms for new communities. There's loads you don't hear of
