Not sure if this belongs here but...
Does every celebrity or porn star really need their own community?
Was browsing by new and almost every celebs post had a duplicate in the ultra specific community just for that one celeb.
Yeah... Noticed that. I don't like it, but that said won't it be up to the users to see what survives and takes root?
I'd rather they didn't exist, but at the same time the freedom of this kind of platform might be compromised if mods just start shutting down communities as they see fit.
I'm split 50/50 on this.
I would agree, but all these celeb communities is making lemmynsfw nigh-unusable for me. Right now, they make up well north of 90% of all communities on this instance, meaning the front page is devoid of any other content unless one uses subscribed-only view or blocks them all.
Being able to one-click block communities from the communities list would help a lot.
Edit: Nevermind, I'm dumb - Hadn't enabled 'Show NSFW' in settings. Still, I don't see why the celebs can't just all go in /c/celebs.
It's all @Madness, he mods 170 communities, almost entirely celebrities.
I have absolutely no interest in celeb communities, and they're clogging everything up. Not sure what the solution here is, as I agree with @hedidwot that just becaue I don't like it doesn't mean they should be removed. Perhaps being able to hide communities by tags or by mod?
I just made a post after discovering all the local communities. If you're interested you can check this post.
I'm sure as lemmy's grows also this instance (this instance barely one month, btw) we will have new features to take care of all of this and create users' the best experience. The fact maybe I started early and they growing/active fast, they will appear first when you explore communities.
I hope sorting communities will be available soon. I need that too
For the record, I don't fault you or have any ill will towards you. Apologies if that's how it came across. Just that you created the majority of the celeb communities.
