Right, but the new-person-experience will royally suck because they don’t come pre-blocked. I actively try not to block accounts, to keep the view as default as possible.
Every single post listed in the screenshot shows engagement. Furthermore, communities like /funny are always going to be populated with stuff that has been reposted all across the internet because its such a generic topic that requires the content to actually be somewhat funny. Unless you have some resident comedians lurking here, you aren’t going to find much original funny content.

Oh yeah, no, that shouldn’t happen.
Are they? I’ve been seeing that account posting for quite a while.

Doesn’t that assume that the new person will hate said content? I’m not taking that as a given myself, personally.
Fair point, but if there’s no engagement on those posts, it’s just a repost site like all the others, not a community.
