My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don't want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn't seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

Im on kbin and it does not show a total but I block anything in languages I don't know or that seems to be all memes or sports related but certainly not anime or porn.

Since you're an anime enjoyer, I have a question: do you ever find that there's a lack of variety in the art styles? I was pretty into it in the 90s/2000s but it seems like there's a new anime every week that looks identical to the one before it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but I think thats a bit the same with all media. There is still tons of relatively recent anime that is really unique like attack on titan or To Your Eternity or even spy family.

I saw the first two seasons of AoT and liked it a lot. It has a well-defined art style. My only "complaint" is that I had a hard time telling a few characters apart

Do you know the word/name for the art style I described in my other comment? I call it "kawaii anime" but I know that's not right lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im sorta a poser when it comes to fandom. I like stuff but I don't have the obsession that drives really getting into a lot of details. So I totally don't know are styles and such. Its sorta like museums. I like to go and I like what I like but I don't necessarily have great depth of knowledge of art style or periods or such. Its only due to memes that I know the getting sucked into a fantasy world has a name and I can't even recall that atm. I mean I could google it right now but I just don't care much that the particular term is X but if someone mentions it in a convo I will likely remember that what they are talking about with context clues. im thinking its like ikea with an s somewhere and i or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IKEA anime actually works really well for what I'm describing lol

Not necessarily bad but it is bland and unoriginal. The main difference for this analogy is that I wouldn't consider IKEA to be childlike

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

lol. not my intention but cool. Maybe it will become a thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I thought I blocked a lot, but seeing the posts here, I don't block nearly enough. I have about 100 communities and about 60 users blocked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Zero. Every time I've been on the verge of blocking a community (or instance, since kbin can do that) it winds up vanishing anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How many communities are on lemmy.ml?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
  1. Most of them are non english communities. Haven't had to block them in a while, I must have gotten all of them.
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only these 2:

Because they:

  • Spam up your feed
  • Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
  • Try to manipulate you

Earns them more what? There are no ads here unless you locked yourself into an app that pushes them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.

In addition the sites contain advertisements.

None, the insanity I sometimes encounter can be entertaining. I'll just log off if its too much.
