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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
