How do you guys block thousands of communities? I have blocked around 10. I can exhaust my /all feed around twice a day, there isn't even enough content showing up for me to block 1000+ communities.
LemmyWorld is already defederated from a lot of instances that the average user is likely to be blocking, anyway, so chances are those communities won't show up in your All feed to begin with.
How many is .ee blocking?
I signed up for what I thought was the most open connected free speech instance. But maybe I need to switch
On most Lemmy instances, you can go to the bottom of the front page and click the "Instances" link, and it'll show you all the other instances that one is connected to and which ones they block.
For Lemm.ee: https://lemm.ee/instances
I feel like there is a crapload I'm not seeing
Seems like mine doesn't block anything?

Running out of content to browse is not a bad thing in my view. Then I just go do something else.
Even on my subscribed feed about 5th of the threads are caught by my daily growing list of content filters. I lose nothing of a value by filtering out the noise from the signal. Still waiting for someone to come up with uBlock filter to block threads linking to specific websites.
If a community only has posts I scroll past anyway, why have them show up at all? I want to see an interesting post followed by an interesting post even if it means running out of posts. It's why I can't enjoy Instagram...every other post is an ad I have to scroll past to see what my friends post
