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?

    All things I’m not interested in that tend to fall into these categories:

    • hyperlocal geographies
    • sports
    • specific games
    • specific hobbies
    • programming languages and other technologies
    • porn
    • meme groups about subcultures I’m not a part of
    • shitposting
    • subs where it seems everything is cross posted to another sub
    • pretty much all music subs (i’m not here for music)
    • pretty much all video subs (i’m not here for videos)

    Edit: I’ve probably also blocked a handful of obscurely named subs that have no description or shit descriptions. Like a sub called grobslafup and the description is “everything related to grobslafup!” As if people know what the obscure thing is but don’t know that a sub titled after it is going to be related to it. 🙄
