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 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

    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.

    Good to know! I didn't want to miss out on @kolanaki@yiffit.net comments, but now I won't have to worry about it.

    I did. Those usernames are too distracting and shout "look at me!", so I'm filtering all of them.

    I totally agree. Before I found the option to disable custom display names, I found that guy insufferable...2024 equivalent of xXxUSERNAMExXx. I don't think I've noticed him since, though I'm sure I've read his comments

    I'm this close to blocking ani.social as well because it's mostly softcore porn. I like Anime, but not like this.

    I added that one fast for the same reason. I am not an anime-hater but there's way too much horny anime getting posted for my liking. Too many -chan characters that look basically identical middle schoolers.
