I kinda wish related communities shared a common instance (aussie.zone)

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.

I don't. There is a community I subbed to that has absolutely nothing to do with American politics. The mod of that community keeps posting bs about American politics to that community under the guise of "they used a computer to post whatever so it belongs in this community about technology".

This is on one of the bigger sites and bigger instances. I ended up blocking that community from my personal instance because it was being inundated with a bunch of crap having nothing to do with technology, but certainly had an agenda.

If that was the only community that (supposedly) was about technology, I'd have to find a bunch of other, niche communities to cover what that one does (or should).
