I'd love to browse "all" but so far my experience has just been a slew of porn, languages I don't speak, and other stuff I have zero interest in seeing in my lemmy-based doomscrolling.

None of it is anything I think beehaw should defderate from. It's not wrong or against beehaw's standards. But for my idle time, it's just noise that gets in the way of finding anything else interesting.

I did some googling and it looks like this sort of thing is being looked at for lemmy as a whole, but I was hoping someone may have a trick to do it without the lemmy system supporting it directly.

On desktop, I could easily add a userscript to remove the instance domains, but not so much on mobile apps.

Am I alone in this frustration?

I'm considering just making a script to get a list of communities from an instance and submit them to my block list automatically. Heavily rate limited, of course.
