Yeah what is desperately needed now for scaling is a way for subs to "tag" themselves with topics, that way you can widely filter off specific tags.
"Location" for example for town/city/province/state based communities, for example, would be handy. I can subscribe to the couple relevant to me by searching for it manually, but Id like to widespread block all the rest cuz I really dont need to know about the local news of a town on the other side of the world.
Same for Sports, really. I dont need the news for each individual sports team for each individual sport.
I don't know where you guya are seeing all these bean posts. I've been on and off Lemmy all day and have only encountered one such bean. And also three posts complaining about said beans.
