Are you in a hcol area op? I know you said moving is not an option but as far as I understand it, in some places the only way you're going to be able to remove a sizeable chunk out of living expenses is being willing to commute.
To everyone saying just block the communities:
I don't want to have to block communities. In order to know I need to block a community, I have to see content which I feel is worth blocking. That's fine for most cases but in this case that is not fine (to me personally).
I don't necessarily want to associate or interact with people who are fine having a server with loli as their home server. Not to be mean about it but that's just how I feel flat out.
I think this is an instance where de-federation is the correct course of action.
This is something that is actively being worked on fyi :) Hopefully it's fixed soon. I think it's just a relic from when these servers were a lot less populated.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'instances'

On your home page at Fedia there should be a 'subscribed' tab that's how you see all the communities you subscribed to. To subscribe to a community there should be a 'subscribe' button in the 'sidebar' menu which you can find at the top of the community's page.
Just a guess but I think active sorts by how active the comment sections of a post are whereas hot seems like it ranks by recent upvotes.
You're incorrect. Local is your local server, all is all servers that your server is federated with.
Noticed this too. Now when it happens I smile and scroll back to the too to see which news communities I get to interact with lol
The 'internet of things' is really getting out of control if we have houses posting on here now.
Yep, don't feel like play chess right now haha. Maybe if the answer was en passant 😳
