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
1500+
Around 40 communities of irrelevant or annoying stuff.
I've blocked 40ish instances and hundreds of communities. Everything I find boring, not interesting or trying too hard.
Zero.
I try to block communities discussing politics, cringe memes and Linux. I have about 50 blocked at the moment.
over 30. I personally prefer more serious discussion because I'm a dork. I'm not into most sports, jokes, video games or other whimsical stuff. I like some of that stuff IRL, but I consider the internet primarily of use for deeper discussion of topics that most people might not necessarily have an interest in. Like NASAs nuclear powered project Orion spacecraft in the 1960s.
Peoples eyes normally glaze over when I talk about that stuff offline, but there are billions online, and usually someone else finds that niche stuff as interesting as me.
It would be nice if you could select which topics interest you rather than having to block every community that does not.
Almost 200 pretty much exclusively from lemmynsfw before you could block a whole instance.
Once they added that, I've blocked very very few communities.
About 330. A crap ton of porn stuff, furry, bondage, etc. Several non-English communities. Operating system related stuff like Linux or android. A few “normal” communities that are on instances that don’t allow much dissent or contrary opinion.
Don't know how to check, but I am on mbin, not Lemmy.
30ish
Im on kbin and it does not show a total but I block anything in languages I don't know or that seems to be all memes or sports related but certainly not anime or porn.
How many communities are on lemmy.ml?
I've blocked 10 or so instances and over 500 individual communities. Mostly by browsing /new and just killing anything I don't have the slightest interest in.
The instances I've blocked are leftist, furry, porn and anime related, plus one that's hosting sports communities exclusively.
I thought I blocked a lot, but seeing the posts here, I don't block nearly enough. I have about 100 communities and about 60 users blocked.
