I don’t know if this was asked before and I don’t know how to look for that so I’m sorry if this is a repeat but, I keep seeing American football posts which I couldn’t care less about and I keep blocking the communities but they’re like thousands of millions of communities that never end. And no, I don’t wanna stick to the subscribed feed cause I wanna possibly find new communities or see posts from communities that I’m not subscribing to but are mildly interesting. I can’t think of good words to block either, without catching other communities I care about as well.

    There is literally like 3 of them, plus a few dozend for specifc teams, which hardly get a post per day.

    This is not a real problem.

      I understand where OP is coming from. I’m constantly blocking team pages, and generally when they post about a win, theres another post on a different sub about the loss. Same game. Maybe two or three posts.

      If I could see my block list it’d be jammed packed with furry and sports BS subs.

        I just set my view to “Subscribed” and never subscribe to those. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Haven’t seen a sports post yet.

      There’s not. I’m really into hockey, for example. We have a “hockey” community, but there’s also a community for each team. So 33 communities for hockey alone.

      Though as far as I know, there’s only one bot that posts scores of hockey games, and it only makes one post a day and posts all of the scores as comments under that daily post. Then it edits those comments to keep them all up to date as the games are played. I wrote that one myself, and I specifically was trying to avoid spamming with tons of posts, as there can be as many as 16 NHL games a day.
