Blocking a handful of something hasn’t worked for me. I must have blocked about 100 anime porn sites and I still get a dozen every day in my ALL feed.
Even when I sort HOT, they still come up constantly with no comments and no upvotes.
Comment on Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts?

Blocking the handful (okay more like couple dozen) sports-related bots did the trick for me.
I don’t mind seeing posts I’m not interested when I scroll All, the annoying part is a wall of 20+ posts, which is mainly a problem when bots are mass-reposting content (sports score for example)
But if you’re really annoyed by seeing irrelevant content, there are two main options:
-
Stop browsing All or Local and switch to your Frontpage, which is only the communities you’ve subscribed to. It’s still nice to browse All once in awhile to get turned onto new communities, but there are also certain communities you can subscribe to specifically for the purpose of seeing new and trending communities.
-
This is more porn-related, but switch to an instance that is not federated with porn-instances. For example, I’m on lemm.ee, and I only rarely see moderately-NSFW content on All or Local.

Refer to my second point then.

My thing is when browsing all I want to see all, not just the most popular communities. The Hot/rising functions don't seem to work that well at least on kbin.
So I blocked a lot of the communities that show up too much or the ones that will never have anything of interest to me. It's better.

Fully agreed that Hot/rising is garbage right now. It seems to weight very recent posts with zero comments or upvotes equally with older posts that have robust discussion, so >80% of the content is the same as sorting by New.
