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?

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

!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.
None, I just block some bots I don't find useful and that's mostly it.
Only a handful, if there is a way to block non English speaking ones.... I keep getting German or Dutch

None, so far.
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
I blocked all nsfw content. I haven't blocked any specific communities. It was just a check box when I joined lemmy.
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.
Can't seem to find this option in Liftoff. Would love to block lemmygrad

Upwards of 200, a lot of stuff I'm not interested in or "main" communities
Communities: Just 196 and languages I don't understand.
Instances: exploding-heads (probably a couple more to follow)
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.
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.

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.
