I'm working on one. Currently I have Enough about Reddit already which filters out reddit-related words. If you're comfortable editing a script, you could add your own words to the blacklist.

The new Threads platform is designed to import data from Instagram, including behavioural and advertising information.
In its US format, the platform tells users that it will collect a wide variety of data from users, including health, financial information, browsing histories, location, purchases, contacts, search history and sensitive information.
In the EU, the Irish regulator has prevented Meta from launching advertising services on Whatsapp that uses data from Facebook or Instagram. The tech giant is allowed to mingle the two data streams in the US, which has weaker privacy laws.
It is unclear when, or if, Meta will launch Threads in Ireland and the EU. A spokesperson for Meta was unavailable to comment on the matter.
However, it is understood that the DPC has not actively blocked the service. Instead, the tech giant has not yet prepared the service for a European launch outside the UK, which is not fully governed by GDPR or EU privacy rules.
It also includes a "home instance" feature so any links you copy will be /m/ instead of /c/
Are Tesla charging stations already required to include CCS plugs?
So far I've been browsing all-hot and all-newest mainly, to find new communities to subscribe to (and some to block). At some point, probably soon considering the growth in the threadiverse, I'll switch my home page to subscribed. I comment wherever I feel like it, but I've only posted on kbin.social so far.
I collected some resources that can help in this post, like the aforementioned lemmyverse.net. Another useful trick I’ve found is going to instances dedicated to specific interests (like programming.dev) and browsing their communities list.
The first couple links in my post are kbin specific but the rest should be useful to everybody!
Oh another one I remembered: Magical Diary Horse Hall (and the sequel Wolf Hall) - absolutely loved the first but never got around to playing Wolf Hall
Funny, I was just thinking about this today as I was going through my Steam wishlist. I don't even know what to call the genre but I want more of it. Haven't heard of exocolonist before, so I'll check that out. The only other one I can think of right now is Growing Up (Steam link), but that one is kind of shallow and not great for replayability.
And to not even have feature parity (no polls, for example) and not be able to view NSFW posts...

Good thing I didn't get Outer Worlds or Merchant of the Skies in the sale!
