I will start by saying I have toyed with posting this because as soon as someone says they don’t wanna see it, someone will make a community for it. However I feel like some of the stuff that makes Reddit annoying is creeping over. And just because I don’t like it does not mean its not a valid community. So if it is least put in the right place (rather that the bigger generic communities) I can then just filter or block it.
Ill start I don’t want to see
- Am I the arsehole
- Relationship drama
- Celebrity worship/drama
So what communities DON’T you want to see here?

Actual Republican spaces. They can stay the fuck on Reddit and Twitter.
Republican oxygen can stay on some other planet.
I block communities I have not interest in. So I don’t want any real limits on whats created.
Yea, there is already a lot of subs I don’t like, but… I have chose. An instance which is a little selective and block the rest. I also block spammy people with low tolerance.
So far it works nicely.
yeah and its nothing against the communities. sometimes its just not my thing. Even with users it might not be that bad a person but they just grate on me. With the fediverse I decided to throw out many of the internet conventions and treat it like I would real life.
Reddit used to have r/picsofdeadkids. I’m probably ok without that one.
I think there was a sub that was called /r/jailbait as well.
The fact that Reddit became mainstream after all that vile shit thriving on that platform is nothing short of insane.
They were both created and moderated by violentacrez.
Anything centered around video.
communities that rely on misogyny, racism, or prejudice in general
repost communities
communities that promote generated content
any sub rewriting history.
Alternate history literature / media communities would be nice, though.
I have 0 patience for people who “don’t want to see that” on fedi. The whole concept behind fedi is to have a single connected web of every social media platform – the design and implementation is specifically intended to make space for literally everyone and everything. If you don’t like encountering something, it is incumbent on you to use the curation tools at your disposal to remove it from your feed – you have no right to try to remove it from fedi altogether.
Just because I’m saying I don’t want to see it doesn’t mean I don’t want you to see it. Let’s not get heated out the gate.
If this is straight out of the gate for you, I’m sincerely sorry your first comment you read on the matter was me getting heated. For me, this is approximately the 4 billionth thread about “how should we gatekeep fedi?” and I’m extremely over it, possibly to the extent that I react when “who should we gatekeep?” is only a small part of a larger conversation.
That’s fair.
I came in here expecting people would want rightwingers and fascists banned. Instead a bunch of y’all are here just going “I block out anything that’s not fun!!!1!!1!1! I don’t want to be reminded of the very real issues that plague the world!!” which I mean, you have every right to do that I guess. Good for you, enjoy your hole in the sand
Humans were not designed to endure this 24/7 flood of miserable shit happening all over the world, which you can’t have an effect on anyway.
It’s often better to engage with it in a controlled manner, at least in my opinion, especially if you’re already suffering from multiple severe mental health disorders like me, even without these things making it A LOT worse.
Yeah. Out of curiosity what does that help? Have you solved some problem that plagues the world? People don’t have to be bombarded with how shit the world always is.
Being on niche platforms kinda makes forces you into accepting being around weirdos and fascists. You get used to it. It kinda makes me feel good knowing I’m better tbh
Im one of those people. You seem angry about the concept. Is it morally acceptable to have any facet of life that doesnt revolve around the very real terrors that we cant stop?
things that could bring the server under investigation for illegal activities.
otherwise, I can block them.
I don’t want to see any Reddit communities. Anything worth emulating there died 10 or more years ago. I’d rather we came up with our own original communities with actual standards.
IMO the worst Reddit communities are the ones themed around other Reddit communities and posts. Best of XYZ, XYZ updates, XYZ drama, etc. They are designed to generate shit-tier rage commentary and they get reposted relentlessly. I miss the days when reposters would get attacked in the comments and mass downvoted.
Any sublemmy that’s name starts with “fuck”.
Always a miserable time, even if I agree with the sentiment of some of those places.
Focusing on things you hate leads to noticing more of the thing you hate. Sounds miserable.
pretty much if its unfun, then it gets blocked, so like pretty much everything politics related, most things pertaining to real world drama, and the communities that solely exist to bash on so-and-so. they are often pretty negative.
we block a lot of stuff, heres a screenshot!
the reason we block stuff is simply that we’re here for fun, not really to dabble in politics and so forth. there are times and places we set aside for that, where we do put effort into activism work, but this place is one we seek enjoyment in.
please remember that happiness is a vital part of healthy being :)
Any community that puts rules on who can post/comment. If it makes it to a front page it’s free game. None of this bullshit of you have to be so and so to comment here; keep it subscribe only then.
Can we have Spacedicks back, please?
How do people see the niche communities? On my private instance I only see the communities I subscribe to and on lemmy.word’s main page you only posts from the most active ones.
I don’t care because I can just block the community.
I use voyager webapp and blocking a community takes 3 seconds:
- you are in the „All“-tab
- you see a community you want to never see again
- you don’t have to enter the post or community, simply press and hold the community
- tap „block community“
Love how the top comment is off topic. Classic Reddit
The question op asked is a legitimate one, and I deliver the solution to the whole problem. Instead of being frustrated from communities I can simply block them.
I do block and I’m getting better at it.
What’s prompted the question for me has been:
Relationship drama in ask lemmy
Celebrity crap in newsThat’s just 2 there has been more. In R they would have been in defined spaces that I ignore. Here people don’t know where to put them so it’s usually a generic but common community. This has had me thinking what do I hope does not start appearing.
Still curious though. what one community DON’T you want to see here? Unlease your gripe, we all have them.

This is the way. Everybody has different interests, that is what “subscribed” is for. I have no interest in Anime, Sports and Porn, but do I think people with those interests shouldn’t be here? No.
