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.

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Well another commenter just told me that blocking sports and anime is equivalent to an echo chamber so we both better unblock them to have a healthier worldview /s
I forgot about the game subs in my estimate...I've got a lot of those blocked. I just don't care about patch notes for games I don't play.
I just watch subscribed communities. To me that's just too much noise. So I haven't blocked any.

I have two accounts. One has all the more serious news type stuff blocked and the other is unfiltered. Its nice to be able to take a break from reading about war and disease. I get most of that news from Mastadon anyway.

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

I also browse exclusively all. I only bother blocking the non-English and porn communities. Looks like that's 315, for me.

Around 40 communities of irrelevant or annoying stuff.
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.
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.
700 at last count
I block all communities based around a single sports team and most sports, also any based around a geographic location smaller than national-level. Anything based around a state, city, town etc is always negative.

Got 20 communities blocked and coincidentally 20 users blocked 🙃
