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?

My blocked community list got significantly shorted when they introduced instance blocking. Got pretty tired of playing furry porn community whackamole.

I have 7 instances blocked. I’m really glad that you can block instances while not blocking the users of those instances. Like I don’t want to see any posts from yiffit but being a furry doesn’t mean your comments aren’t worth reading, ya know?

The other blocked instances are porn and language-specific instances just to clean up my feed

I would love it if blocking all users from an inatance was available as a separate option from the users. I think the majority of my blocked users are from two instances.

Yes, those two.

The fact that you can so easily guess which two instances proves it would be a useful tool to be able to block all their users.

Yeah I’d love that as well. Have blocked around 100 from those combined, plus a few from .ml (though they have a fair share of folks that behave).
