I don’t see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?

I’ve had to block a lot of anime subs. It was a problem for a while, but now I hardly see any.

Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.

Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.

Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.

I had to do this for US politics but I don’t recall when I last saw an anime related post.

Check out ani.social and go from there.

Or just look at my post history.

It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.

Oh, they never stopped. I’m still posting regularly to all of them, but I set up all the ones I wanted, so if you blocked them you wont have seen any new ones pop up in a while.

For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on “all” (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by “hot” (the default).

I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.

…And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn’t even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.

Barely a single pair of anime tiddies among the whole lot. What a drag.

This has been my experience. Not complaining tbh but yeah when people complain about how they see “so much x” I begin to wonder if the rage-algo kicked in

I normally find everything I see is in groups. I see either 1 or 2 anime posts, or 45. Never really anything in the middle.

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
