My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

    I mostly use All as well. I have the following blocked:

    • all the meme communities that pop up. It’s just spammy posts

    • all beehaw communities. Mostly because they were defederated with the largest lemmy communities, and I didn’t want to talk to only a small subset of users. Not sure if they’ve changed anything since

    • hexbear because… Hexbear

      Meme communities are “content” in the worst sense of the word. No substance, just sludge
