One of the most annoying parts about That Place, and also Lemmy, is curating your feed by blocking communities you have no interest in seeing.
I am not a sports person, so I need to block each sports team manually when I see it, and also each individual sport. It would be so much better if I could just block an instance called “Lemmy.sports”.
I’m glad Lemmy.nsfw is the default porn instance, I think we need to see more of this.
I know it’s too late to change at this point, but I think a feature to catagorise different communities would be nice, so I could block “sports” if I wanted to.
Alternatively, maybe down the line see a feature to import a community to a new instance without users having to migrate manually.
Hell no. It has a point with porn because of health’s legalities.
But the entire point of having a bunch of independent, federated servers is to have that redundancy and distribution. Your sports only server is going to have down time, or shut down entirely at some point. Bye bye communities.
You want things spread out, but easy to link for the user. What you’re wanting is better achieved by improved discovery, and “multis” of linked subscriptions.
