Wait where are you seeing all the sports content? Any sport communities I browse have only a handful of regulars knocking about (don’t get me wrong, I’m glad of them, but it’s not quite the same as Reddit)

With sports it is more annoying because they tend to come in through bursts for very specific communities, like individual sports teams. Blocking each sports team community one at a time is like playing whack a mole.

It isn’t that they are overwhelming the All - Hot feed all the time, but there are bursts where they do.

Back in the day, when Reddit was a thing, I always wanted some sort of dynamic curated block list. If I were to subscribe to the “sports” block list, then all the current sports subs would be added to my filters. Every time a new sports sub gets created, users have the ability to add that new sub to the dynamic “sports” list. At that point, everyone else that is subscribed to that “sports” list gets that new sub added to their filters automatically.

Categorizing things for blocklists is great concept, but since most content isn’t even marked for language I doubt the categories would be reliable enough to use.

Ah the one from a week ago or so? There were a couple new ones for me in there, but none of the sports I’m interested in (basically football* & rugby) have super active communities. I’m glad I’m an arsenal fan at least because we’re the one team community I’ve seen that seems to have something new every day.

*The international kind, not NFL

(Also cheers to you for keeping the content up in the new communities community, definitely found a lot through your posts)

I only browse new, but anything sports related gets insta banned for me.

I’ve been getting a lot of formula 1 and WWF lately, sorting by “all”, “active”, and “new.” I just keep scrolling.

Unpopular Opinion

!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

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/
