One of the most annoying parts about That Place, and also Lemmy, is curating your feed by blocking communities you have no interest in seeing.

I am not a sports person, so I need to block each sports team manually when I see it, and also each individual sport. It would be so much better if I could just block an instance called “Lemmy.sports”.

I’m glad Lemmy.nsfw is the default porn instance, I think we need to see more of this.

I know it’s too late to change at this point, but I think a feature to catagorise different communities would be nice, so I could block “sports” if I wanted to.

Alternatively, maybe down the line see a feature to import a community to a new instance without users having to migrate manually.

    Exactly.

    I would like to see these categories in a cascaded list. For example, if there was a list for location-based communities, I could block “cities” and “countries” but leave and “continents” active.

    This way I can still see news about “Europe”, but not the communities of languages I don’t speak.

      I’m not sure if it’s helpful but you can select the languages that you speak in your user settings on the server.

      That might hide content which isn’t in those languages, at least going by what the tooltip seemed to indicate. I’ve got mine set to undefined/english and I haven’t been seeing non-english content when viewing all posts, though I haven’t tried with a different setting.
