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?

    492, apparently. Mostly bot communities, (US) politics, anime and tons of communities for specific sports teams, TV shows, games, technologies etc…

      Well another commenter just told me that blocking sports and anime is equivalent to an echo chamber so we both better unblock them to have a healthier worldview /s

      I forgot about the game subs in my estimate…I’ve got a lot of those blocked. I just don’t care about patch notes for games I don’t play.
