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...
We understand that some users in the fediverse don’t want to see sports content and are frustrated with Fanaticus’s game bots’ daily posts.
Currently, lemmy doesn’t support blocking entire instance’s at a user level. Because of that limitation, I am providing a list of the current communities on Fanaticus that have active game bots and a little python script so users can block those communities.
In the future, we are planning on adding the game bots for the other major sports as well (they’re not in season now) so I will update this script as those bots come online.
Heres a post from fanaticus.social. Worth a look if your issue arrises in all
I found one post from 12 hours ago that describes the problem: lemmy.ml/post/2650814 - but that’s all I’ve seen. Content is way down on lemmy.ml with nothing coming in from .world...
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !braves?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New, !braves
Hi, I’m an admin at fanaticus.social. Sorry for the inconvenience! Game bots are an important way for us sports fans to interact with one another during games but I understand how annoying they can be if you don’t care about the sport.
In the future, we are planning on adding the game bots for the other major sports as well (they’re not in season now) but hopefully that will be a nice jumping off point for you.
Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts?

It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instance
A ton of countries have a decently active Lemmy instance, including the English-speaking ones (UK, AUS, NZ, ZA)....
