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?

Oh man I totally agree about the repeating themes. That's true even on the non-porn communities...especially during the gold rush to copy every single subreddit but none of the rules that made them unique

I don't really use Lemmy for porn but I don't mind seeing it since I have NSFW posts blurred. Aside from sexuality/kinks I'm not into, I block a lot of communities with users that post like 20 things at once.

    Yeah, it's truly wild that the rules didn't transfer over (those were clearly written on each subreddit). The gold rush was poorly done, if it were better managed we'd have had a better default experience! Lemmy is one of several sources for unique erotic content (as gay NSFW is more scattered online). Often the only ones posting are the mods of said community so often I don't need to block them as it's all unique. I've almost fully curated my Lemmy experience now; since I've invested more time in this fediverse social platform.
