I kinda wish related communities shared a common instance

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.

Ironically, I’m part of a sports-only instance. I’m not sure if you can block an instance as a user, but hopefully one day we can emerge as a predominant sports instance and you can just block us, thereby eliminating most sports-related posts from your feed. Good luck with this issue, and sorry in advance for all the individual sport/team posts you will see from us in the future.

I appreciate this lol. Thank you for making my wildest dreams come true. Good luck!

Nope

Damn, it must be the Mandela Effect. My previous world-line had instance blocking.

Kbin has instance blocking. Maybe you used a kbin-based instance in that universe?
