?
I don't see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?

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.
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/

Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don't think I've ever seen one... Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting... 😐
I've had to block a lot of anime subs. It was a problem for a while, but now I hardly see any.
Yes, blocking something you don't want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.
Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:
Block the instance
Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don't. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren't local

Check out ani.social and go from there.
Or just look at my post history.
It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.
Oh, they never stopped. I'm still posting regularly to all of them, but I set up all the ones I wanted, so if you blocked them you wont have seen any new ones pop up in a while.

What is mental for me is that people browse the ALL feed and then complain about what it shows... I feel crazy only browsing my subbed communities all the time lol.
What's crazy to me is that I browse all and have very little blocked and I don't see the huge amounts of whatever the posts are complaining about (except if the complaint is about US politics). Rarely see more than 1 or 2 anime related posts in about 2 communities. Almost never see porn of any kind; let alone furry stuff and I'm on an instance meant for it.
Makes me wonder if they're just getting a bug that some apps have where it just keeps repeating the same 5 posts as you scroll instead of correctly updating. That was the biggest issue I had with Connect and Liftoff.
I'm the same. I browse All and don't remember the last time I saw any anime communities. I see porn occasionally, but it doesn't bother me. When I find a community I like, I subscribe to it. If it's a community I don't like, I'll block it. Once Lemmy grows more, I'll probably just switch over to my subscribed feed.

All is how I browsed reddit, so it's how I browse Lemmy too. Like others have said, it allows you to find new communities, and is a pleasant experience once you filter out all the trouble communities and instances.
And TBF, Lemmy doesn't have default communities and I'm too lazy/ADHD to subscribe to any of them.
That is fair, browsing my subbed subreddits for more than 10 years was my way to go for Reddit (Reddit was my replacement for Feedly, basically, so I am used to curating my stuff).
Maybe that is why, aside from the APIcalypse I don't have a grudge against Reddit, and I missed some huge drama shit and toxic bs that you'd find in r/All (spam, bots and reposts too).
If you want drama, [email protected] and [email protected] have some
LMAO, no thanks, but I appreciate you sharing with me those communities (I didn't know them).
How few interests do you have and how active are the communities? If I did just my subbed communities all the time it would be 2 day old politics and comedy subs with last post 2+ weeks ago.
I guess maybe you don't browse much or you've got a much more active set of core subs.
(Maybe some of that unavoidable anime and femboy content IDK)

Oh no, that terrible anime subs and content. Quick everyone post more fully qualified !links to more of these groups so i can avoid them, there's only been a few in the thread so far
You can straight up just stalk my post history ;D
You pop up so often I'm surprised when your not around.
MentalEdge goes on 7 day vacation.
You: "Hello, police? I think MentalEdge has been kidnapped or murdered. I haven't seen any anime titties lately!"
Police: "...........what is going on now?"
Yeah :D
It's a pity not everyone wants me around, but I'm not going anywhere, so complaints are quite pointless.

Yes. My block list is YUGE.
I browse by All, and rarely see them anymore. I think my instance and community blocking strategy must be working.
This person curates their feed ⬆️
How can I achieve this?
You block instances, users, and communities you don't want in your feed.
And you subscribe to communities you'd like to check back on.
This is the dream.
I'm more concerned about the huge number of posts involving politics in my app.

Block ani.social or @[email protected]. You can block me too because I post on [email protected].
I do post a lot of non-anime stuff, too.
Like [email protected] and more recently [email protected].

For a second I wasn't sure if I had posted this and just didn't remember it
Try sports now..
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)

It’s not just anime, but also (in my experience) music, games, and ai. They seem to feel that there needs to be a community for every. single. possible. sub-genre. 😞
You can say the same for politics, memes, and many other genres for that matter. And I have no doubt there are those that are bothered by it too. Yes, we can all hide away under our local or subscribed feeds, but that’s a narrow-minded and xenophobic solution. We all should be able to scroll whatever feed, using whatever sort, we choose to use and not be assailed and harassed by these fervent die-hard (possibly ocd) “fans” of whatever genre du jour there happens to be.
It’s a shame that Lemmy does not have a way to tag communities by genre. And it’s a shame most communities probably wouldn’t use it even if it were supported. It would not only help filtering out specific content, but conversely it would help with content discovery. Of course there is also any potential for abuse, because let’s face it, there are those that will just because they can. But I do t feel that’s worth not having a useful feature like tagging or whatever you want to call it.
