I kinda wish related communities shared a common instance (aussie.zone)

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 use All to explore.

I start with subscribed, until everything on my feed starts to look familiar. Then switch to Local, which works well to find new communities because my instance is somewhat topical. And then if I run out of content, I move on to All to see what else is out there.

I’m not really scrolling All for content, I’m more on the lookout for interesting communities.
