Comment on Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts?
Etterra@lemmy.world 1 year agoYeah I asked this question about foreign languages, and I think it was the same answer. I don’t speak or read German (as the most common example I’ve seen) so I have to keep blocking various instances that pop up in the newest feed like whack-a-mole. Similar to community-specific subs.

We could request that bot instance admins use a single user account vs a bunch of different users. That's the problem with fanaticus - they have a bot for every different team - and I don't see why that's necessary. A single bot, like for the HN reposters, means someone can block all the posts with a single action, which would be nice.

What if you want some scores and not others though? Then those people couldn’t block the bot. I think that’s the thought process behind that.
Not saying I agree with it, just pointing that out

The way to arrange that would be different communities for each team, then people subscribe to the ones they want. It’s also what the sports instance already does.
