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 shorter 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
Zero - I browse by subscribed. I probably have 100~200 comms subscribed to through this account, plus a dozen in my ani.social account.
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.
No communities, but I blocked the whole Lemmy NSFW instance because I am not into porn and autoplay GIFs in my feed is not to my liking. (you all do you I just don’t care for it).
Just 5 - 3 from hexbear, 1 quasi NSFW that keeps popping up (I have NSFW turned off), and the Far Side one because they’re a lot less funny and more boomer humor than I remember.
I get you but I disagree about Far Side because it’s almost entirely wholesome. Boomer humor is comics complaining about social issues or how awful your wife is

As opposed to humor boomers actually like…
Boomer humor is not all humor that boomers like. It’s humor that was primarily popular in their era - like “I hate my wife” jokes fit because don’t really play well anymore
