Share blocklists? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Possibly another approach to my last post, but with wider scope - https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/25640154

Is it possible to share a blocklist of communities based on themes? I would find a non English language list very useful, but as I said in the previous post blocking an instance like *.de or *.nl means interrupting comments by users in an English post. Instance level blocking means people who speak multiple languages (and I am one myself) are hidden from me.

But if this were possible it could also be used to block communities for topics I have no interest in, such as sports or all the software I never use announcing update releases. It makes tuning my feed a chore and I think this would improve the experience for everyone's tastes.

I wish there was a way of reliably blocking by topic/tag. I have a very long block list that would be a lot simpler if it could be reduced to:

  • Languages I don't understand
  • Anything sports
  • Anything furry
  • Anything anime
  • Porn
  • Generative AI slop

Yes exactly. Even anime or TV shows i enjoy i block for fear of spoilers.

That reminds me I can probably unblock Severance now that I've finally watched S2.
