My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

    I exclusively browse All and have blocked 615 communities and 2 instances.

    Is there a way to block non English content? The last time I looked into this, you could choose to only see English content, but that would also filter out all content which didn’t have a language specified. This made the filtering unviable because most content doesn’t specify the language and most content is in English.

      You can choose both English and “unspecified.” You’ll still see some non-English stuff when people don’t set the language, but it will filter out all of the posts where the language is set to something else.

      I set my language and don’t see a lot of non-English communities but I’m not sure if those two things are related. I don’t mind filtering them out, it’s no more than a couple per week
