Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts?

I don't know if this was asked before and I don't know how to look for that so I'm sorry if this is a repeat but, I keep seeing American football posts which I couldn't care less about and I keep blocking the communities but they're like thousands of millions of communities that never end. And no, I don't wanna stick to the subscribed feed cause I wanna possibly find new communities or see posts from communities that I'm not subscribing to but are mildly interesting. I can't think of good words to block either, without catching other communities I care about as well.

I know that people are claiming that this isn't an issue, but I am seeing the same. I just started blocking those communities every time I see one. They are probably just sorting their feed differently and assuming that their experience is the same as everyone else's. Blocking them (the bot, or the community) is really the only option.

I kept seeing European football posts. And car racing. I just block any of those communities when I see them. ADHD and autism memes too. There's a lot of those for some reason.

Some of those memes are funny. For me it’s blocking furry porn, sports, the strange sissy hypno stuff and photos of dicks.

I don't want to jynx myself, but come to think of it I haven't seen a single dick pic since joining lemmy.

If you browse a typical instance on All>New and turn on NSFW, there are various communities specifically for that.

Car racing? Do you happen to remember the community and instance?

No, sorry. My brain literally shuts off when people even begin to mention cars, sports, pretty women... Things that I care nothing about.

Lol understandable. No worries.
