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.

      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
