How many communities do you have blocked?

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?

None, the insanity I sometimes encounter can be entertaining. I'll just log off if its too much.

hexbear, lemmygrad and all news communities. Also turn off the NSFW post.

Isoprenoid ,

About 65 communities. It's either due to them being too active so they flood my feed, or if most of the content is ragebait (e.g. politics based)

Drusas ,

Don't know how to check, but I am on mbin, not Lemmy.

Gerudo ,

I have my main feed as no NSFW. I might have half a dozen blocked.

My NSFW feed, probably has 40+ blocked.

TexasDrunk ,

I browse all, but I've only blocked a couple of dozen. Every one is just a language I don't understand or American football (I'm just not a fan). But I have a "disable NSFW" button on my client so I use that if I'm in public.

I don't mind seeing things in my feed that aren't my thing as long as they don't take over.

I don't blacklist.

I whitelist, view Subscribed rather than All.

What I want to go hunting for new communities to subscribe to, I use lemmyverse.net, which can see all of the communities on the Threadiverse, not just the ones that someone on my instance has subscribed to.

I've basically blocked all meme communities.

I'm only here for the memes

Zero - I browse by subscribed. I probably have 100~200 comms subscribed to through this account, plus a dozen in my ani.social account.

I don't block any but, as an Admin, I tend to check on all communities (theoretically) in case there's shenanigans. As I am on a smaller instance Local is manageable and then I use Subscribed. All is too much of a firehose of content to use much. So I am more opt-in than opt-out.

Glad you like it.

I have two accounts. One has all the more serious news type stuff blocked and the other is unfiltered. Its nice to be able to take a break from reading about war and disease. I get most of that news from Mastadon anyway.

That's a good idea. I've blocked so much almost all I get is depressing news. They need to let you export blocked lists. Mines so long it's probably worth something.

someguy3 ,

All those fucking Moe ones. Don't think I can see that on jerboa, maybe 10?

blargerer ,

30ish

RagingHungryPanda ,

I have two bot accounts and five servers

glimse OP ,

No communities though?

I have 42 users blocked. Mostly bots but some spammy accounts, too.

RagingHungryPanda ,

Actually I think I do, but I'm not seeing them in the sync app. I've definitely blocked porn communities. Bots too.

Zero. Every time I've been on the verge of blocking a community (or instance, since kbin can do that) it winds up vanishing anyway.
