So I’ve been attempting to block communities I don’t want to see on my main feed, but it’s pretty much impossible to do these days because the communities get mirrored on so many different instances that when you block one single community 5 times, there are still 3 more versions on different instances with the exact same crap. Block them? There’s still more!

This site is rapidly becoming completely useless, the way I’ve been using it before.

      Right, except pretty much the only thing I actually like about social media is using it to explore previously undiscovered things. Sticking exclusively to a few subscribed communities has no appeal at all to me.

          Then the only option is probably to block all the communities you dislike

          …which isn’t even really possible anymore, which is the whole point of this post.

            You mentioned 8 versions of a community in the OP. If you block all of them, you should be good until a new one appears.

            That’s going to be time consuming, but there isn’t any better option at the moment

              It’s not just time consuming. It takes up all of the time I spend here and still doesn’t actually progress to anything better.

              I’m not saying it’s hard, I’m saying it’s become impossible recently. My block list is absolutely enormous these days, and there’s no end in sight.
