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’m heavy handed with blocking.

    I block all the major NSFW instances. Non-english speaking instances. A few of the terminally argumentative instances.

    Quite a few communities that cover topics or issues I don’t care to read about. And some that are low effort article spam pits.

    I block people that want to argue about substanceless nonsense, or try to low-effort goad me.

    Bots are also blocked in settings.
