I've heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don't want to see. I imagine I'm not the only one curious how my total compares to others'

I'm at 142, and I'm unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total

I go raw, I trust my instance to defederate from the worst of it, but otherwise I don't block people, communities or anything. I also browse by all and while I subscribe to communities it's more for the future or something, because for now there's just not enough content to curate my feed really.

It's all good though because I switched to other sources for my specialist content (mainly YouTube) and Lemmy is just there for my obsessive scrolling.
