I’m not upset about it, I’m just trying to receive recommendations on content curation.

Does scrolling past 5 posts that aren’t even in your language sound like an appealing Lemmy experience?

Do I look like the person who would get lost in a familiar place?

Actually, don’t answer that.

I don’t think it blocks users from that instance when you block the instance, just threads posted to said instance. I might be wrong, idk, but that’s what I read before.

browsing by subscribed content works like that. I imagine it looks like I’m blocking everything and everyone but I’m just trying to curate my feed to make it as less noisy as possible

If you browse by “subscribed”, you only see the communities you have joined. I sometimes browse “new” just to see what’s happening now, and this shows all posts from any community (you haven’t blocked). The sorting method “Active” is posts from 1-2 days ago and the content in “Hot” stays about the same throughout the day.

Oh really? I have only seen German communities coming from that. I initially thought it would be more than just that (considering .org) but after so many German posts, I just blocked the instance.

Nothing wrong with the posts / communities itself, but I don’t speak or read German so it’s just noise to me

thanks, there’s a reason I left Reddit!

There’s a reasonable explanation for that one, namely: the French.

We’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing

• Lemmy, I love reading the comments and seeing cool insights and learning new things every day
• LinkedIn, just scrolling through game dev news and laughing at the insanity of corporate LinkedIn
• Discord, I manage a few communities so I need to check in regularly to ensure no spam or troll got through the automated filters. Also to chat with the friends I made on the platform since first using it (2016)

I do have a Bluesky account but the microblogging stuff just isn’t for me. I like nuance and being able to have all the facts laid out. A conversation, if you will.

My twitter and facebook accounts have been disabled / removed for a while

People post jokes, and then someone else shares it thinking it’s real. At least that’s what I think happens most of the time when faked stuff is presented as real

I’m fine with it on social media, but on websites, articles, research papers etc I see it as a lack of quality control. It’s very easy to fix too, just hit ctrl+F and type space twice to find any.

Double spaces in text

ITT: people who think Balatro is so good they don’t even need to spell it right. They’re right though.

Now that I have your attention, check out Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers if you prefer blackjack over poker. Or Solitairica if you enjoy Solitaire. Should run like a dream on Steam Deck as well.

Oops, I blocked all the blue people. I found it massively distracting on my Lemmy client.

I unironically want this

Nah there’s no record of ‘Blimpson’ being a surname, I call bullshit. But your investigate efforts are appreciated.

I refuse to believe this isn’t a shitpost

Edit: I need to start reading the communities stuff gets posted in
