Must be my filter list then… 20p blocked communities (mostly porn though) and 50 blocked keywords…and increasing.
Comment on Sincerely, your literally poorest europoor.
zaphod@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks agoHonestly no, I think it’s worse here. I blocked so many communities because they’re just about US politics, but that stuff is still everywhere, even in generic meme communities.

please share this list of words and communities!

It won’t let me copy/paste the list out of this boost app. As you come across content, keep adding words that are specific to USA (e.g. Trump, POTUS, senator, constitution, NBA, superbowl), don’t add words that are likely to catch other content (e.g. president, democrat). Communities should be self-evident that are focussed on American content.
I refuse to use any social media app or news app that doesnt have a blocklist. I’d recommend Boost for a Lemmy app and Pluma for an RSS news app.
I probably see more American content than I am putting across, but with training my brain to skip/ignore American content, I’m not too bothered by what I see now.
I would also recommend blocking other things you might fond repetitive or annoying (I don’t want endless content about Israel, Ukraine, police brutality, Apple products, etc) and I block all of this stuff too. Lemmy has enough content now to still show plenty of posts with all that blocked. You just need to be sure to browse “all”.
