Am I correct in assuming that blocking a community stops it from showing in your feed? I see a lot of posts from communities in languages I don’t speak and would like them to not show up on my feed. So I blocked a few, but I’m not 100% sure if what I did has the intended effect.

(Maybe it’s just because to me, blocking a person seems like something I wouldn’t do to someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, haha XD)

    you can block communities/users or even instances (on kbin). this is one approach, and works like a blacklist

    or you can subscribe to some communities and set Subscribed/Hot as default feed in your account. this is more like whitelist

    i suspect the intended approach is the latter, because you can see communities you usually don’t without unblocking them if you follow links or search for them specifically
