I have 238 blocked communities. ~3/4 porn, 1/4 sports, gaming, and non-English. I don't really want to block the instance as i kind of like to see the community titles. It's like a weird name competition. Winners are currently hentaibdsm and dangleandjiggle.
So, instead of subscribing to communities you want to see, you block communities you don't want to see. Interesting approach. You have more communities in your blocklist than communities I subscribed to.
First i read my subscribed by new, then i read all by new to learn about other communities. If a community I'm not interested in posts occasionally, i just scroll past. If there are 13 posts in a row about a football team, i block it.
