This isn't a problem for me. I just block out those instances. Also I swap to the everything feed every so often to find new communities to sub to, then usually go back to subscription feed.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.
And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don't understand its popularity.
A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc..
Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.
A boobs/celeb/shoes button
A religion button.
People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.

Reddit had a keyword option to filter out items. I had cat in there and it worked for years. Was pretty simple. Not sure if it was part of the third party app I used or internal to Reddit. Either way it was effective.

lol yea I keep blocking the sports bots that post game stats, it took ages cause each team has their own bot but I seem to have blocked all of them at this point
Add gaming while you're at it. I'm a former gamer but I'm in full on grandpa mode at this point and sick of seeing it.
I'd rather just a "Hide Thread" button but I can't find one.
high five
I made a post like this not long ago, specifically about hiding all sports communities, yeah.
