I'm up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don't see the point of. I've got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

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

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I do this but I block stuff I won’t have any interest in ever like programmer humor, furry this and that, weird porn. I know I won’t ever subscribe or find anything I want to see in some communities

[–] febra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

!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.

[–] Brochetudo@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] RocksForBrains@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Nolegjoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can't seem to find this option in Liftoff. Would love to block lemmygrad

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

[–] cokane_88@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

None, so far.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[–] ultrasquid@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] TurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.world blocked exploding heads at the instance level, so I don't need to worry about them thankfully. Before they were blocked by our admin I had pretty much every community of theirs I saw blocked.

[–] Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] TurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using the Liftoff app. It's in the 3 dot menu on a post or in a community for that.
