I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!
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)
There is a post about sport communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
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)
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.
