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?
What, do you want to relive Reddit’s Greatest Hits 20 different communities??
Yeah, kind of dumb. I didn’t mind it as much if it’s a community for posting pics or videos, as long as the bot isn’t dumping huge numbers of posts. What really annoys me is when they do it for communities that are more discussion based. They were doing it in AITA and other question-oriented ones. It makes no sense: someone asks a question on Reddit and people here are going to answer it?
Hooollyy shit I totally forgot about those and had the exact same complaint! If I’m remembering correctly, at least some of those communities were from bots not flagged as bots. So you had people replying because they didn’t know…
They were some of my early blocklist entries for sure
Yep, mine too. If I could take care of the problem by blocking the account, I did that, but a lot of times I ended up blocking the community.
