I’m up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don’t see the point of. I’ve got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

    79 so far. If we could just block instances it would be so much better. OR if we had a distinction between NSFW porn and NSFW non porn. I just don’t want porn in all, but I want to be able to discover new communities. And I don’t want to block all NSFW because I enjoy some content that is marked as NSFW…I just don’t want porn.

      I had problems in the past where Connect would not populate random certain communities in my subscriptions, making it unusable as an app.

      But I just redownloaded it and it appears to work now so I may play with this a bit more!

      Edit: Wait nope. Now it seems to randomly glitch out often and delete ALL of my subscriptions. Maybe even worse than before…

    Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with “Fuck xyz” because those communities are always toxic as hell.

      My own philosophy is that if a community can only be described with negative values it will ultimately be a shitty community.

      Anything that starts with anti- or fuck noun even if I agree with them is a instant block for me.

        Dude I agree so much. Because I’ve fallen for the trap of thinking “oh yeah, I support being against that too, fuck it!”

        But then slowly realize that even if I support being anti whatever, the community itself is just filled with negativity and hate. Justifiable or not, it’s always an emotional drag, so yeah, best to just cut it out of my life, I don’t need it.

    Zero.

    I only view by subscribed. Who’s out there trolling /all like a maniac?

    Zero blocks of any sort currently. I mainly use my subscribed feed, and while I do check all periodically, I have pretty tough eyeballs.

    I haven’t blocked anything yet. I just signed up and I’m having trouble finding anything. My timeline is just the same few things repeating. How are you all seeing stuff you haven’t subbed to?

      Exactly. I have absolute nothing against porn…I just am not interested and don’t want it flooding and dominating my feed.

    I have managed to block fuckcars 6 six times. Which is funny because every time I block it a new one pops up

    I just blocked Politics.

    I felt that politics posts and discussions on reddit led to a separation of communities and echo chamber when platforms like that an Lemmy would ideally, be politics free.

    It leads to a more friendly positive and inclusive place to be.

    I think it would be impossible to keep politics off Lemmy so best I can do for now is filter it out.

    I don’t block anything.

    I view subscribed day-to-day, and browse through All when I want to find new communities to sub to.

    There’s all kinds of shit in All that’s not for me, and that’s… how it’s supposed to be?

      I do this but I block stuff I won’t have any interest in ever like programmer humor, furry this and that, weird porn. I know I won’t ever subscribe or find anything I want to see in some communities

    All the meme ones that keep flooding /All. I‘m at around 7 so far?

    None so far. At this point you might as well use the “Subscribed” tab. Whitelist instead of blacklisting communities.

      I hope to get to that point soonish, but without a starting set of mostly interesting and inoffensive subs, building a collection of subscribed thingies is slow going. In the meantime, I’m scrolling all and blocking all the communities that seem mostly like a place to be angry.
