So, how many lemmynsfw.com communities have you blocked?
I just reached 112 myself.
I'm very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don't want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.
You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.

None. But I also never browse All. Never have, on any form of social media.
I use it as a way to discover new communities. Any recommendations on how you manage your subscription without looking at all from time to time?
I look them up at lemmyverse.net
I go there about once a week to see if there are new communities I might be interested in. I'm on a selfhosted single-user instance, so my "all" is identical to my "subscribed" and this is how I populate my feed.
I'm a little curious: If you unsubscribe from something, does it disappear from your All? Or is it enough that a user in an instance was at some point or another subscribed?
All is the collection of communities that anyone on your instance is subscribed to. I believe once everyone unsubscribes, new posts are not automatically retrieved.
This is correct.
If you unsubscribe it will sit there with 0 subscribers, no longer being updated.
You have to go in with an admin account and purge the community to remove it.
It's tedious, but I found just looking at lists of communities to be more helpful. If something looks interesting, open it up, check it out, and subscribe. Browsing your subscribed communities is an infinitely better experience. Plus, if you're willing to take the time blocking communities, I feel like that takes just as much time as scrolling through a list of ones for potential matches for your interests.
Will genuinely never understand people that treat home as their personal feed. WTF is subscribed for? ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ฎโ๐จ
How else will people find a reason to complain about, I CLICKED ALL, AND I SEE A BUNCH OF STUFF I DON'T WANT TO SEE. HOW TO I BAN THE STUFF I DON'T LIKE, INSTEAD OF using the subscribe feature, like a normal person.
Subscribed is for the communities that I want to actively engage with every or close to every post that shows up. All/Home are for browsing popular content that I donโt want in my sub feed (memes, news, other smaller communities, etc)
