No, I just don't subscribe to them. So why would you contribute to the problem by posting a meme to a non-meme community?

[-] thal3s@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

That’s where Subscribed versus All comes in though. I do want to see what everyone is upvoting, even when it’s all memes/196 posts. We’re in a shitpost phase now but it’ll pass.

[-] little_hoarse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely. I’ll probably unblock that stuff once there’s more variety to the All section

[-] Cullen@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yep this is where I'm at too

Ya it's a little concerning how quickly people shifted to posting low effort crap in bulk in order to simulate a bigger community

Yes, I started blocking meme communities. I think I've reached my "I'm too old for this shit" age or something.

I do still have the themed meme communities unblocked. Like programming memes and Star Wars memes. Those still give my old ass a sensible chuckle.

I had to manually search every community with meme and shitposting in it's name to block them. And even then I had to manually block a lot of others. I want to see memes and I enjoy the humor but it's not ALL I want to see.

Can you give me a list of communities you blocked? I would like to subscribe to them.

@little_hoarse
All meme communities (and shitposts) are auto-blocked every time I see one.

[-] Sentrovasi@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

You know what? You just inspired me to do it. Definitely cluttering up my day and making me scroll way more than I should/had to.

[-] PaulDevonUK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Thunder app just added the ability to block.

I think I have finally blocked enything Meme or Shitpost. WOW! What a difference. I don't need to scroll anywhere near as much.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Joke on you. I'm here for the memes

[-] little_hoarse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

That’s perfectly fine

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I did by accident but lets see how this goes. Then 196 intentionally.

[-] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Not so much in All feed and my Subscribed is feed is pretty curated, but if I switch to Top then pretty much yeah. 🤣

[-] krimson@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

I have to say overall the memes are much better quality than what I saw on Reddit.

[-] brahmsss@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Since I unfollowed them I had to do a double take on the community cause my subscriptions have no memes left, I still browse ALL for the whole experience, no bans tho
