I don’t know if this was asked before and I don’t know how to look for that so I’m sorry if this is a repeat but, I keep seeing American football posts which I couldn’t care less about and I keep blocking the communities but they’re like thousands of millions of communities that never end. And no, I don’t wanna stick to the subscribed feed cause I wanna possibly find new communities or see posts from communities that I’m not subscribing to but are mildly interesting. I can’t think of good words to block either, without catching other communities I care about as well.

    It’s not just sports, but alot of other topics that I’m just not interested in seeing somehow dominate my feed at times. Foreign language communities that I can’t even read pop up now and again. There’s so many small niche communities popping up that somehow pop up in the ‘Top’ view for whatever reason, then you have to go through and block each on individually. Is the Fediverse so sparsely populated that literally any posts that get any sort of attention suddenly shoot to the top? I sort by Top Six Hours most of the time. I try to block them when they come up, but I feel like Reddit never had this issue, even with all the extremely niche subreddits they have. It just seems like top/trending communities aren’t showing up correctly or some posts are showing up when they shouldn’t.
