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.

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 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
Is there a way to look? I haven’t exactly kept track.
It’s listed in your profile
None, so far.
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.
That’s very close to the way I do it.
Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with “Fuck xyz” because those communities are always toxic as hell.

My own philosophy is that if a community can only be described with negative values it will ultimately be a shitty community.
Anything that starts with anti- or fuck noun even if I agree with them is a instant block for me.
Dude I agree so much. Because I’ve fallen for the trap of thinking “oh yeah, I support being against that too, fuck it!”
But then slowly realize that even if I support being anti whatever, the community itself is just filled with negativity and hate. Justifiable or not, it’s always an emotional drag, so yeah, best to just cut it out of my life, I don’t need it.
i’ve been here for 15 minutes as a refugee from reddit. i immedialtely got the “fuck cars” (community?) in my feed. i did not like their dislike of cars.
Are you sure they weren’t lovers of cars/cussy?
I have blocked exactly 10 magazines, all non-English.
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.
How do you check?
It should be in your profile
I got curious and went to look… 300 yep… most being from specific cities or countries, porn, sports teams, brands (just apple products I think it’s 6 or 7) and crypto coins. And also 9 edgelords who should go back to 4chan.
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?
I browse the local and all feeds to find new stuff. Local shows everything on the instance I am in, and All shows the local feed, plus communities on other instances that other people on Lemmy.World follow.
Ah gotcha, I guess I never check that tab.
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
Wow, not as much as I thought. I’ve blocked 3 communities, 3 users, and 2 domains.
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.
How are y’all seeing all this porn and furry stuff?
I don’t see any of it on my /all/ feed. There’s like, some girls and boobs and stuff occasionally, but it’s rare.
I wonder if it’s instance specific. I can see the porn communities but no posts show up in them for me on my lemmy.one account.
I know initially porn was blocked lemmy-wide and has only recently started rolling out.
Exactly. I have absolute nothing against porn…I just am not interested and don’t want it flooding and dominating my feed.
So many anime and meme communities…
Zero blocks of any sort currently. I mainly use my subscribed feed, and while I do check all periodically, I have pretty tough eyeballs.
