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’m a big sports guy and I rarely see random sports posts in the wild. Could OP be viewing the “all” page maybe? We had a similar issue a few days ago with Elon Posts and I wonder if it’s not a similar issue here?

        If these are local and they’re botted to hell, perhaps get in contact with your instance’s admins. I’m sure they don’t appreciate that sort of behaviour either.

        Ah that’s why I don’t experience the same. It looks like your specific instance has a lot of bots posting the sports stuff. As the other commenter said, you can try contacting your instance admin if they can help. You can also maybe block the bot account if you can narrow it down…

        Almost nothing you can do, viewing local will show you every communities/posts especially made by bots… Just use “Subscribed” instead.
