Yeah... Noticed that. I don't like it, but that said won't it be up to the users to see what survives and takes root?
I'd rather they didn't exist, but at the same time the freedom of this kind of platform might be compromised if mods just start shutting down communities as they see fit.
I'm split 50/50 on this.
Yeah, I see your point too, which is why I phrased it as a question. Reddit was big enough that these would just be buried. Also, things are so new and in flux I can't just stick to subscribed right now. ONce the dust settles it will be easier to just ignore.
I would agree, but all these celeb communities is making lemmynsfw nigh-unusable for me. Right now, they make up well north of 90% of all communities on this instance, meaning the front page is devoid of any other content unless one uses subscribed-only view or blocks them all.
Being able to one-click block communities from the communities list would help a lot.
Edit: Nevermind, I'm dumb - Hadn't enabled 'Show NSFW' in settings. Still, I don't see why the celebs can't just all go in /c/celebs.
I just made a post after discovering all the local communities. If you're interested you can check this post.
Then, the same logic is applied to other duplicate subject communities. Age, pussy, hentai, pornstar, asian, bdsm, tits, dick, cosplay, cum, femdom, freeuse, girls, hair, indian, nsfw, onlyfans, porn, sexy, sissy, tiktok, etc. All this subject has multiple communities not just one.
I'm sure as lemmy's grows also this instance (this instance barely one month, btw) we will have new features to take care of all of this and create users' the best experience. The fact maybe I started early and they growing/active fast, they will appear first when you explore communities.
I hope sorting communities will be available soon. I need that too
Yeah, that's fair. I don't have a problem with specialized communities, and I agree that better filtering tools is the way to go.
Until those tools are available though, perhaps you could slow down a little on opening new communities? Take a look at the front page in logged out mode and you'll see what I mean.
Because a guest only sees SFW stuff. Mostly dominated by us that post Celebrities and do not necessarily mark communities as NSFW. Discovering local communities is now sorted by active users. If a lot of non-celebrities posters actively post/comment and their communities will get higher spots. Btw, it's only a few of us who post celebrities, I can say with all these communities I've only moderated approximately 10-15 posts/day. Maybe less, if me or @SushiMage@lemmynsfw.com doesn't contribute
It's all @Madness, he mods 170 communities, almost entirely celebrities.
I have absolutely no interest in celeb communities, and they're clogging everything up. Not sure what the solution here is, as I agree with @hedidwot that just becaue I don't like it doesn't mean they should be removed. Perhaps being able to hide communities by tags or by mod?

For the record, I don't fault you or have any ill will towards you. Apologies if that's how it came across. Just that you created the majority of the celeb communities.
The point is, they can go wherever people want them to go that make a certain community. That's the wole point. If Reddit had been this hardass about creating certain communities or not, it would've never grown as much as it did.
It just sets a really bad precedent. So celeb communities are first, ok. But next we're debating if exhibitionism and holdthemoan should better be just one sub, and then if gonewild and gonewildeurope should just be one, and why do there have to be more than ONE subs for JAV, or hentai, or... the list is endless. Don't start policing the instance like it was a subreddit.
Instead, just switch to "Subscribed", like we all did as the most normal thing in the world a few days ago.
Part of the challenge is the discoverability. I like to view the community list or all to find new communities to subscribe to. With the huge number of celeb communities it becomes hard to find content I’m interested in.
