kind of content they dislike

Or they like it and e.g. want just one strong 196 community.

    That could be the point. No such community on a new instance can be found by others so the original community receives all the attention.

    That doesn't make any sense because it doesn't block the new 196 community because it uses letters

    What do you mean? 196 is part of the list in degenerate_neutron_matter's comment so a new 196 channel would be blocked.

    Do you mean that the official 196 channel uses words and if somebody copies that it is not blocked? True but who would do that?

    This isn't a "block" as such. You can still view meme and 196 content and 196 from piefed.social. As another user said:

    "The code that OP has linked to is part of a convenience function for admins to add content to their new instances. It can query individual remote instances (e.g. lemmy.world), or it can query lemmyverse.net, and fetch communities that look to be popular and active.

    It’s completely unrelated to routine federation, and doesn’t prevent anyone subscribing to communities that may have those words in their names."

    What is a "196" community? I tried looking it up and there's only astrology stuff coming up.

    To add to the other responses, it was the very first community I blocked upon moving from Kbin.social (when it died) to Lemmy, since while the content is not so much "bad" it is just so... MUCH.

    And I've heard the same story from so many others. It makes browsing All - particularly by New - very difficult by overwhelming the space.

    As already mentioned, it moves around a lot - there are at least three communities here now, and also on Reddit before there was a r/196 there was a r/195, so it moving and splitting and continuing on is kinda its thing - sorta exactly like the Fediverse itself!:-)
