My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

    How do you guys block thousands of communities? I have blocked around 10. I can exhaust my /all feed around twice a day, there isn’t even enough content showing up for me to block 1000+ communities.

      LemmyWorld is already defederated from a lot of instances that the average user is likely to be blocking, anyway, so chances are those communities won’t show up in your All feed to begin with.

        How many is .ee blocking?

        I signed up for what I thought was the most open connected free speech instance. But maybe I need to switch

      If a community only has posts I scroll past anyway, why have them show up at all? I want to see an interesting post followed by an interesting post even if it means running out of posts. It’s why I can’t enjoy Instagram…every other post is an ad I have to scroll past to see what my friends post
