      after you sign up to reddit, it will ask you to pick a few things you like from a tag cloud. it will then try and show you more of that.

      I hated that. I used to burn reddit accounts after about 2 months snd every time that part sucked because the only options were like “fashion,” “basketball,” “Game of Thrones,” and other big stuff. If it let me search for the specific subs I knew I wanted, it would be been fine. But no, it had me select random interests. Algotithm-generated content suggestions are the death of the true internet.

      There will probably be a new instance every day and they will therefore never be able to actually block “memes”

      Sync supports filtering out communities containing certain words, and it works across instances. And you can block entire instances too btw. You can even block posts containing certain words btw, so if you’re fed up of say seeing M**k everywhere, you can add a filter for that too.
