29 communities, mostly news. I'm here for memes, not links to articles.
Also a few atheism communities, because I'm not a fan of seeing posts bashing my religion from a community where the rules forbid me from saying anything in its defense.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Zero.
I have my main feed as no NSFW. I might have half a dozen blocked.
My NSFW feed, probably has 40+ blocked.
I mostly use All as well. I have the following blocked:
-
all the meme communities that pop up. It's just spammy posts
-
all beehaw communities. Mostly because they were defederated with the largest lemmy communities, and I didn't want to talk to only a small subset of users. Not sure if they've changed anything since
-
hexbear because... Hexbear
Meme communities are "content" in the worst sense of the word. No substance, just sludge
1500+
Around 40 communities of irrelevant or annoying stuff.
I've blocked 40ish instances and hundreds of communities. Everything I find boring, not interesting or trying too hard.
I try to block communities discussing politics, cringe memes and Linux. I have about 50 blocked at the moment.
over 30. I personally prefer more serious discussion because I'm a dork. I'm not into most sports, jokes, video games or other whimsical stuff. I like some of that stuff IRL, but I consider the internet primarily of use for deeper discussion of topics that most people might not necessarily have an interest in. Like NASAs nuclear powered project Orion spacecraft in the 1960s.
Peoples eyes normally glaze over when I talk about that stuff offline, but there are billions online, and usually someone else finds that niche stuff as interesting as me.
It would be nice if you could select which topics interest you rather than having to block every community that does not.

Only those with other languages that I do not understand and that somehow still show on my feed.
I thought I blocked a lot, but seeing the posts here, I don't block nearly enough. I have about 100 communities and about 60 users blocked.
Zero. Every time I've been on the verge of blocking a community (or instance, since kbin can do that) it winds up vanishing anyway.
Im on kbin and it does not show a total but I block anything in languages I don't know or that seems to be all memes or sports related but certainly not anime or porn.

30ish
Don't know how to check, but I am on mbin, not Lemmy.
None, the insanity I sometimes encounter can be entertaining. I'll just log off if its too much.
No specific communities, just the entire instance of hexbear.net (lemmygrad.ml is already blocked on my instance)
I've blocked 10 or so instances and over 500 individual communities. Mostly by browsing /new and just killing anything I don't have the slightest interest in.
The instances I've blocked are leftist, furry, porn and anime related, plus one that's hosting sports communities exclusively.
