Why?

    When I scroll all, I block anything that doesn’t relate to my tastes. It would be best if there was a way to block certain topics.

    The tankie triad and anything anime related. I swear anime bros make a new comm for each of their favorite characters in a specific outfit

    Just checked and it’s a whole bunch of nsfw ones (I don’t block all nsfw, but there are a lot of weird communities in that category that I don’t need to see), a bunch of German ones because they were taking over the feed at one point, and theonion (which I don’t really find funny anymore)

    Too many to list but in general:

    Non-English
    Politics
    Anime
    AI gen
    Ball sports
    NSFW/Cosplay
    Furry

    No instances, but I’ve blocked 868 communities so far. Either languages I don’t understand or topics I’m not interested in… the vast majority of which being sports and anime/furry porn.

    I’ve found I don’t really subscribe to communities to see a feed of just those. I’d rather see EVERYTHING and curate the feed reductively. Kinda seemed sisyphean at first, but my ‘All’ is fairly personalized now, so I’d recommend that approach to anyone who browses All frequently.

    Mostly porn communities that I dont vibe with or are what I would consider to be disgusting, like incest, sounding, and farting. Ive also banned a lot of furry communities, not because I dislike it but because its also a lot of porn. Anything AI is banned with prejudice. I have a lot of foreign ones banned but I realized I could just mute them instead, oh well.

    Personally I block anything that ends with “moe” I’m not really into thirst traps and anime thirst traps feel like the bottom of an already unwanted barrel.

    I think I’ve blocked over 500 communities. Not because they’re all bad, mostly because it’s stuff I’m not interested in.

    Do not feel bad about blocking communities you’re disinterested in. It cuts out the noise for you.

    I don’t have any. I instead subscribe to as many communities I find interesting and set my feed to only my subscriptions. I rarely venture out to All and only do when I want to discover more communities.

      I use the opposite strategy, which is what I did on Reddit: browse All, and block everything that isn’t interesting. Sports teams, shows I didn’t care about, other niche communities. I prefer this approach because I like finding content I never would have thought to subscribe to.

      That’s what I do, too. However, I did block some communities, mostly meme- or politics related, so I can briefly browse the “all” category once in a while.
