In my personal opinion, this site is completely unusable without heavy content filtering. Just being picky about which communities to follow and users to block isn’t enough.
That said, I realize I might be in the minority on this, so I’m curious what others are doing to preserve their sanity.
IDK, I just block NSFW posts in settings, haven’t seen anything really objectionable so I think it’s working. From there I block all the politics and news communities., that helps my blood pressure. After that it’s just a matter of filtering the stuff that simply doesn’t interest me. I honestly wish you could just whitelist comms or users to show up on your feed rather than having to block everything.
