Comment on you know what's mildly infuriating? a reposter bot

Unfortunately the fact that you need 400 billion fucking things blocked to make this place less annoying… means that it is annoying. Bot accounts and communities that already exist fifty thousand other fucking places with no activity are way too trivial to spin up

I’ve blocked maybe a dozen accounts that probably aren’t even active anymore.

Is everybody else just raw dogging ALL instead of making a subscription list?

  If my home feed runs out of new and interesting stuff i open all, think a lot of people do that. Have to say I’m not desperate enough to sort all by new or hot.

  To a degree, yes, how do you build that list otherwise? Most “communities” are duds with no activity. And poor support for aggregating even identically named communities across instances means all of this is a real chore

    I definitely agree with you there. Finding the communities is not easy.
    
    I think when I first started I went through a 411 list and just started adding things that sounds interesting. Many of them still haven’t had any content since I joined, but if they ever do, I’ll catch it.
    
    I also follow /new communities, and every now and then I’ll join a fresh one if it sounds fun. Again, they may not go anywhere, but I’ll know if they do.
    
    Otherwise, I search for things when they randomly pop in my head, or if someone else on here mentions one in particular. Or if I’m bored, I’ll switch to all and see if anything catches my eye.

The sheer scale of your hyperbole is staggering

  What, would it have been any more staggering if I said quintillion?
