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)

    I’m making an app, I’m very close to an Android beta (iPhone will be a bit later), and I’ll put in a “block all communities on this server” button. I can also auto block them the first time a community is seen based on a list of blocked servers

    The nice thing is the blocks would be through your account, so if you use the app it would affect the web as well (although the block would only go into place after the app sees it, so it wouldn’t work perfectly in the browser)

    I imagine any issue you see one person talk about will be a pain point for many, so would that fix most of what makes you hesitant to stay?
