How many communities do you have blocked?

How many communities do you have blocked? - Lemmy.World

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.

Running out of content to browse is not a bad thing in my view. Then I just go do something else.

Even on my subscribed feed about 5th of the threads are caught by my daily growing list of content filters. I lose nothing of a value by filtering out the noise from the signal.
