Just change to Subscribed view? As you get more users who subscribe to various other communities and instances the All feed will start to have more and more content that isn’t what you are subscribed to.
Yup. Or otherwise block a specific community
Yes, I understand that. But from time to time I want look at “unrelated” stuff.
As an admin, you can use the web UI to purge a community from your instance.
Oh, and this will remove it and also remove future new posts?
~~I think so. I haven't needed to use it yet myself. I think it should forget the community and not federate future posts, unless some rediscovers/adds the community again.~~ This is likely wrong sorry. An ability to block and purge specific remote instance communities seems pretty important.
Future posts and comments will still come in. The remove and purge features don't tell the remote instance to stop pushing updates.
Remove is only hiding the community from non mods/admin. Posts and comments still get updated.
Purging is deleting all posts, comments and images. The community will be re-created quickly, because the remote instance is still pushing updates.
I even tried re-deploying my instance with a fresh install, but the "stuck" communities begin appearing immediately.
Okay, so no solution for my problem other than blocking.
