I’ve heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don’t want to see. I imagine I’m not the only one curious how my total compares to others’

I’m at 142, and I’m unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total

    Occasionally I block users that are extremely bad for one reason or another. Honestly though, I have to block far more communities than users, and it’s mostly because of foreign languages. I have nothing against these communities, but if I can’t read any of their posts, they’re just noise. I’ve tried tinkering around with language settings, but for whatever reason I still seem to see at least one new one a week, and so I block it to clean up my feed. It just seems like something that should be easy, I’m a dumb American who only wants to see English communities, how hard is it to filter by language, or is this just a problem with my mobile client (Voyager)?
