I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
Ideally I shouldn’t have to use an external tool. I don’t want to have to cut over to an external tool every single day in hopes that I accidentally discover a new community I want, and then hop over back to the actual lemmy.world. Never underestimate the importance of convenience.
I guess in the same way as with subscribing to a RSS feed or E-Mail Newsletter.
Are you aware that “All” is only a small part of the fediverse which someone else on your server subscribed to already? There are still many other unknown unknowns which you will never find via “All”. You have to find a way to find those anyway.
I understand looking at “All” now and then to see what others on the server are subscribing to, but it won’t find all unknown unknowns.
edit: Therefor doing all the work in blocking things seems to me like unnecessary work if you only seldom go to “All” while relying on “Subscribed” for the normal functionality.
lemmyverse.net/communities lets you set your home instance, so you literally click on the community in the list there and it loads you up on the page where you can subscribe.
You people are pissing me off by constantly saying the same things. I don’t know what I’ll be interested in until I see posts. Lemmyverse.net isn’t going to help me there. And since there’s new communities popping up all the time, I’d have to keep going to Lemmyverse.net like every other day. I don’t want to do that.
All I want to do is hide the things I know I won’t be interested in. Like how it seems there’s a community for every sports team in the damn US.
Either way, it’s not a big deal. My only frustration is that people keep trying to suggest non-solutions.
It’s an artifact of the protocol. Because different lemmy instances exist and only federate here when someone from this instance subscribes you either need an instance that doesn’t block any federations and make that your home instance so the ALL designation actually encompasses all of your unknown unknowns or just settle for the ones people from this instance federate with. Either way, I think defaulting your language through settings is the easiest way to block the foreign languages content. The sports content is trickier to block because if you had like a browser plugin that just hides posts/communities with ‘Sports’ or ‘Teams’ in their titles you’d have the side effect of blocking non-sports related content (at least with the ‘teams’ one). I haven’t done any research personally into whether there are instances that have incorporated this as a feature or if anyone’s made a plugin like that though. Hope you find a solution!
I’d like to block entire instances like the ones where I can’t read the language, but I can only block individual communities. Nothing against other languages, and I could stand to expand my scope from 3 languages, but seeing 6 posts flood my feed in a language I can’t even identify is a bit uncomfortable
Do you have the languages you know selected in your user settings page? There’s a panel on the left side where you can click on the entries. After clicking on the first one, you can hold Ctrl for subsequent clicks to make multiple selections before saving your changes.
I think the core fault with most PvP games is that you can only really play for fun in the first month or so. Everyone is kind of new, so there’s not really a lot of getting stomped, and there’s enough actual really bad players (like some of them must be five year olds and people who’ve never held a controller before) that even people of very mediocre skill like me can win.
After that it’s just sweats left, and people who want to be sweats. Anybody else making the mistake of joining in will find very little enjoyment to be had.
I just stick to single player games most of the time.
