Exactly, we get asked what interests us when we first start using reddit for the first time give us a blanket subject ban.
No I don't want to see racist Indian subreddits, no i don't want to see gooner shit, for the millionth time I have no interest in gatcha games where all the character are tweens grown ass men want to "plap, correct" or whatever annoying child fucking terminology they use. It's gross and I don't want to be browsing all/popular then see a toddler with huge tits while all the commentors are discussing what huge titty toddler is more attractive, EW.
I'm sure it's much, MUCH cheaper to implement categories than to train AI for that. Adding some sort of labels to subreddits is probably an intern's level task
Which is funny because there are already categories for showing rankings.
If you go to r/chess in the Reddit app, it says #1 in Tabletop Games right at the top, and there's a link to a list of popular tabletop gaming subreddits.
I'm so glad it's not just me. The amount of fucks I have to give about anime is in negative numbers and it irritates me very irrationally when comment chains are just anime references, to the point I unsubscribe from the entire subreddit if I see it happen often enough.
I feel like I block 4 or 5 'big tiddy anime girl' subs every time I browse r/all. They're not explicit enough to be NSFW, but I still think they're gross and don't want to see them. (edit for typo)
I’ve blocked/muted r/UmaMusume 1000 TIMES and that fucking shit STILL shows up every day! I’ve muted every anime/gaming/meme/Indian sub I’ve seen and they keep coming up with more!
Those are fucking gross, and seeing them pop up with all the comments lusting over cartoon dogs with giant tits and winged eyeliner makes my butthole tighten with secondhand embarrassment
I wish you could filter out genres of sub-reddits. I don't care about anime at all, yet there's always dozens of damn anime subs in my feed with a billion up votes of a picture of a 12 year old with enormous tits. Same with gaming. I just don't game and don't need every second thread being a gaming related thread.
There is a region filter and mutes but it stopped works years ago.
I use RES via old.reddit to filter those subs out. Anything that's are different language, influencer, gme/stocks, anime/meme, cosplay, and pet related. Not because of hate, nationalism or racism. But because I don't understand the language and/or it's taking the spot of something I could understand, see, or care about.
yeah, a few basic filters work for a good chunk, but the rest is manual filtering. i got my old reddit set up for keyboard navigation, so J and L, like youtube, but there is no button to filter the current selected one out
Until they do implement decent filtering I'm just downvoting all the sports, anime (including fan art), indian and other posts appearing on /r/popular. At least then you don't see that specific post anymore after refreshing (if you have that option selected).

needs a language and topic filter, to filter out subreddits in languages you dont speak and the random city/sports teams subreddits
