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 like that idea, but at the moment, Lemmy needs engagement with up-and-coming communities, so I want to boost content I think is good, not just from communities I'm explicitly interested in.

Also it's a good way to find new communities.

Sensible. Definitely going to come with consequences though, I do not think it was intended to be used that way. Should work though, with a whole lot of hassle.

Good luck.
