For me it’s the Linux and Star Trek stuff. I’m curious to what communities you find annoying enough to block.
Basically only the communities in another language, I don’t have any issues with it, other than not wanting to translate news articles.
I do have one user blocker that is a troll or bot that is constantly posting political stuff, something like 30+ posts a day and nearly 80 comments a day, most of which are down voted to hell for obvious reasons.
In /All I’ll block things that are going to always be in a language I don’t understand, or communities or users with extreme opinions that don’t offer what I consider to be reasonable counterpoints to my own beliefs. I don’t want an echo chamber but I will only engage with factual discourse that priorities compassion and humanity.
Anything that presents a risk of viewing a penis.
That was my main problem with blue sky when I first signed up. I didn’t search for penis.
I was searching for fun and entertaining content and the occasional casual bob and vagene, and I got so much penis.
Like a disgusting amount of penis.
I got so much penis that I started to understand what it felt like to be a girl on a dating site.
For me, the opposite. No vajayjay or teetaas. Blocked.

You know it.
Everything everyone else said + cuckold porn… that stuff that’s like ordinary boring porn with a description about how cool it is that you’re getting turned on by looking at someone’s imaginary wife.
I have a loooong list of blocked stuff. I use it as an ever growing filter that blocks anything I don’t really care to see.
And also a few people who weren’t particularly kind to me. But those are not very common on here I’ve noticed

💯👌
Really anything porn, tankies, or sports.
Anything US-politics and anything erotic, like almost every community from furry & anime instances. Also every non-English communities like feddit.de and some hobby communities I don’t care for. Over time my feed got way cleaner and more fun to sift through.
The only big one I did was block posts that mention elon musk, my feed was getting flooded with posts at one point.
For a spell I also blocked keywords to us politics, probably should just block the actual political communities.
Any kind of memes of any type, as a blind person, they are completely useless to me, and quite frankly just annoying.
Have you had good experiences with memes with alt text describing the visual and the joke?
That’s not personally something I’ve ever seen, but if you know of any good communities that add alt text to their memes, I would be interested in at least taking a look. It’s not the memes themselves that I have the problem with, it’s the fact that they are images, and I’ve never seen a single one described unless I’ve asked for it.
News communities
Many of the examples provided by other commenters are consistent with my banning policies.
None, I subscribe to the ones I want and occasionally browse all to see if there’s anything new I want to subscribe to.
Porn (or anything horny, explicit or not), Star Trek, vegans, communists.
Darn, guess that ruins my plans for creating a community dedicated to Trekky vegan communist porn…
This person blocked a vegan community showing vegan dishes, lmao
Average anticommunist
Some meme stuff, hexbear and lemmygrad basically.
