How do I get Reddit to stop suggesting football subs to me?

r/

I get at least a suggestion a day and I hide it each time so why do I keep getting them?

    Click the 3 little dots, press ‘see fewer posts like this’

    I have had the same thing too, in the end I got so sick of it I switched off the suggestions option.

    Switch of recommendations.

    The funny thing about the football recommendations is that they have rules about brigading.

    Like, you can get banned from Reddit by point arsenal fans at the Tottenham sub.

    But then Reddit itself always recommends me rival teams.

    Meh

    You’re the manager. It’s not up to Reddit what subs you make.
    Probably telling you to sub off the best players for players with no legs, just having a guess based on Reddit.

    This post with football in the title might not help the algorithm

    On this, can we mute words? I want to mute something that I am afraid of. I’ve googled it but get instructions to places that I can’t find in my settings. Or it tells me it isn’t possible.

    This is exactly the same for me. I get a Premiership news feed every single day, even though I have pressed “see fewer posts like this” several times.

    The irony is I am a football fan, but I just don’t want it on here.

    If you’re using the Reddit app you can disable recommendations by going to your app settings.

    I was having this issue with places. I joined the sub for my home city so it started offering me Newcastle, Luton, Coventry, Bristol etc.

    Bring all your subs on in the first half so you can’t have any more.

    Same happens to me, I have literally no interest in football, and I keep telling it I’m not interested and it just sends me more crap. If you ever find out, let me know.

    Same here. I’ve been blocking and muting them for weeks, it’s just endless.

    I know a lot of answers are to switch off recommendations, but I’m on board with recommendations as a concept. It’s just tiring getting so, so many football things.

    Problem with Arsenal is they just try to walk it in

    Don’t mention football on any of your posts for a start. The fact you have just mentioned football means reddit will now push more football related subs.

    Whatever you do, don’t comment on other subs telling people you don’t like football.

    There’s literally zero need to ever use new reddit

    Click the sub icon, then click the three dots on the top right, then select “mute r/ sub”, hope it’ll work for you🤔

    Every time I see one, I go into it and mute the sub. Took a few days but I don’t see any now. The downside is the number of trump related posts sky rockets because the yanks can’t talk about anything else.

    Keep referring to Football as “Soccer”. The suggestions will stop.

    If you have Ublock Origin, you can block them.

    I’m so happy I’m not the only one.

    Although I feel it’s worse for me because it’s non stop fantasy football…. Not even actual football., 😭
