How many communities are you blocking?

79 so far. If we could just block instances it would be so much better. OR if we had a distinction between NSFW porn and NSFW non porn. I just don't want porn in all, but I want to be able to discover new communities. And I don't want to block all NSFW because I enjoy some content that is marked as NSFW...I just don't want porn.

💀

Zero.

I only view by subscribed. Who's out there trolling /all like a maniac?

I'm already blocking one user after roughly one month here.

He was in so many comment sections posting the same gif of a woman shitting.

Allowing users to post gifs was a mistake.

A lot, mostly porn.

I'm not morally opposed to porn--but like 99.9% is aimed at straight men, or is the Disney-style furry art, and it does NOTHING for me. It's like being drowned in, I dunno...football communities. It's boring as shit and I Just. Don't. Care.

All the meme communities i can find. I dont need to see the same unfunny trash from reddit

I haven't blocked anything yet. I just signed up and I'm having trouble finding anything. My timeline is just the same few things repeating. How are you all seeing stuff you haven't subbed to?

Just memes and 196

Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with "Fuck xyz" because those communities are always toxic as hell.

Zero blocks of any sort currently. I mainly use my subscribed feed, and while I do check all periodically, I have pretty tough eyeballs.

102 so far. It's mostly porn and the creepy hentai and furry stuff, some of the foreign language communities that get through the filters, and things like different sports, that I'm never going to be interested in.

As other people have said, I want to be able to browse through All to discover new content, but there's no point in seeing things that I'm never going to like.

I have managed to block fuckcars 6 six times. Which is funny because every time I block it a new one pops up

None so far. At this point you might as well use the "Subscribed" tab. Whitelist instead of blacklisting communities.

What? Why are you blocking communities so much? Just go through the list of communities and subscribe to what appeals you you then just browse subscriptions.

None, I am open to all the filth humanity has to offer.

0 so far

I'm not sure how to see, but I've blocked every non-english, sports, and state/town/city community that I've come across. I kinda wishcommunities had tags for stuff like that, cause theres a lot of languages, sports, and places to block out there

You can choose to filter by language in the Lemmy ui directly. I selected English and Unspecified and it eliminated all the German, dutch and Philippine subs.

On my single user instance All and Subscribed are the same so none.

I block some users who insulted me and weren't interrmested in discussiond. And I block threads.com

A lot. The way I curate my feed is I subscribe to communities that I'm actively and significantly interested in and block all of them that I don't see myself ever wanting to check out. The rest are places that I might want to see, but maybe not all the time. This way I can filter by Subscribed to see a very focused feed and by All if I want some more randomness, but still without topics I'm really disinterested in.

So many anime and meme communities....

I just blocked Politics.

I felt that politics posts and discussions on reddit led to a separation of communities and echo chamber when platforms like that an Lemmy would ideally, be politics free.

It leads to a more friendly positive and inclusive place to be.

I think it would be impossible to keep politics off Lemmy so best I can do for now is filter it out.

All of the nsfw communities, please provide me a complete list so I don't miss any of them.

I don't block anything.

I view subscribed day-to-day, and browse through All when I want to find new communities to sub to.

There's all kinds of shit in All that's not for me, and that's... how it's supposed to be?

I don't understand why you need to block anyone? I subscribed to what I like and that's all I have in my feed how are you getting these other communities?

All the meme ones that keep flooding /All. I‘m at around 7 so far?

!reddit@lemmy.world is the only one. I don't care what Reddit does. I couldn't care less. I don't want to read about it.

Permanently Deleted

I blocked all nsfw content. I haven't blocked any specific communities. It was just a check box when I joined lemmy.

Only a handful, if there is a way to block non English speaking ones.... I keep getting German or Dutch

None, so far.

I just block mostly communities that are not in my mother tongue except this one and a few others

Also the adhd community, it reeks of virtue signaling

It got a lot easier when I blocked whole instances. No more talkie, fashion, qanon level bullshit. No more weird and gross porn or AI porn.

None, I just block some bots I don't find useful and that's mostly it.

Been thinking about the Usenet days when everything was built out as a hierarchy like alt.sports.falcons.gogogo

It would be nice if it was still organized like this. It could make it easier to block entire hierarchies you’re not interested in, like sports.

I have blocked exactly 10 magazines, all non-English.

Only a handful, I tend to only block communities that I'm completely disinterested in, find offensive, or are in languages I don't speak.

Communities: Just 196 and languages I don't understand.
Instances: exploding-heads (probably a couple more to follow)

Upwards of 200, a lot of stuff I'm not interested in or "main" communities

Is there a way to look? I haven't exactly kept track.

Please tell how I can block communities, could not find that button when I looked for it ...

Wow, not as much as I thought. I've blocked 3 communities, 3 users, and 2 domains.

Let's see...

One instance, one magazine (which was later deleted) and 17 users. I block bigots, people posting explicit things without tags, hostile people, and folk with genitals as their profile pic... mostly.

What's wrong with the piped bot?

None. Not sure why I’d want to in all honesty.

Not a whole lot (4 communities, 7 people, 3 domains), but posting to mention that if you're on kbin.social, you can block by domain like so:

https://kbin.social/d/facebook.com

Block button is on the right in the domain information panel.

Not sure if Lemmy has this feature yet.

Us politics, lemmygrad, us sports, lbtq, German and French

How can I tell? My first two days here and I've been blocking left and right.

200+ and growing 10 each day. I had few thousands on reddit. sports, non-English, anime, memes, bikini bottom bullshit, mindly circle jerk infuriating balooney. and I got nsfw off. if I turn it on, I just won't be able to calmly read the interesting stuff, I will be forces to tap the bans all day. please stop moving reddit here. kthnx.

I might have to block Lemmy.ml because these fuxking tankies are getting on my last nerve.

How do you check?
