Hello, I’m new to Lemmy (just joined today). I’m coming from Reddit, and so far I’m liking the experience. One thing I would really like to be able to do is block all communities with the words “memes” and “humor” in their names.

I’ve attached a screenshot of what I’ve managed to block so far, but it’s obviously a futile approach because of the sheer amount of meme/joke/humor communities.

Is there any way to do this? It would be great for my own personal sanity. Thanks.

    Most of us are drinking from the fire hose, seemingly, but there’s been such a huge growth in Lemmy posting that you can actually just subscribe to the coms you like and set your app to only show the top from your subscriptions as opposed to the top from all federated coms.

      That’s what I tried to do at first, but there’s a problem with discovery. I found myself just checking lemmy urls for replacements of subreddits. Then I decided to switch to ‘All’ to discover the actual channels I was interested in, and was inundated with meme channels that I had to explicitly block.
