Any way to mass delete communities by user? (nord.pub)

Hi. I'm new, obviously, don't know if this is wrong place but anyway. On joining, I was asked my likes, I assumed I would be recommended communities to follow. Instead I was auto-joined to what feels like hundreds of communities. It will take me ages to go to a community one at the time to unsubscribe. Any way to mass delete?

As an aside if devs are here, horrible design to autojoin people. Might be of course a feature of the server I joined but if the piefed software pushes for this, just horrible. At least should be a page showing all the communities you would join and ability to toggle them there or remove all.

Yeah, I'm not sure if there's a better solution. Also not sure if those subscriptions are communities or if unsubscribing from feeds will help... I mean you can go two ways here, keep track of the ones you like, reset your account and re-add them. Or go with the mess and unsubscribe over time.

Maybe an idea for future development is to add another onboarding step which details the long list of community recommendations and the user can tick or remove checkboxes before they get added.

    That is my recommendation for future development as well. I'm fine, I know this is the nature of open source systems, sometimes they are just scuffed on some parts. For new more casual users, there is a good chance the would turn around immediately when they see this mess.
