I use the native app. I follow #tags rather than people. So i often go on public view to do some exploring. I am noticing a lot more products/service for sale images is there a way i can filter them out? I like it here as i know its generally not add based but pixelfed is starting to feel when small business inserted themselves into insta.

I only follow a few, crochet, gardening, sewing etc. Mostly hobbies. I saw one recently for someone who cleans garden septic tanks.

I was referring more to the public feed. I like to look on there for interesting accounts, im seeing a lot of betting/online casino ones...i am often tempted to report them as spam...but i am not sure if there is a rule about that. I have seen a few tech tech service ones, and generally smaller services/retail (artwork /clothing etc) using it to do promotions.

Haha I would report betting and casino in an instant, I have zero tolerance for them, So then the mods could decide if it should be removed!
