I just leave my feed on All to see a bit of everything, but it drives me nuts when I see someone either post the same link in quick succession to 3+ instances at the same time, so they all end up next to each other on my feed, or you post several related posts (photography, articles etc) within a few minutes so your name and all your context blocks out a large chunk of the All feed, I downvote each post, then block you as a poster, and each of the instances as well. I understand cross posting and wanting to create content for the community is something you want to do to get the Lemmy ball rolling more, but spamming is just extremely annoying, regardless of the content.
I wouldn’t block the communities otherwise you’re going to end up with nothing to scroll through. While lemmy is building itself its going to have repeating content that hits front page. I use sync to block links that I see posted a lot maybe that’s worth trying?
I guess I should have been more specific in my post. I don’t block the large communities like news and whatnot, but it’s the really tiny obscure ones with a single person spamming them to get them off the ground. The subsections of subsections of hobbies type of thing. I don’t want to see the content of a dozen types of Linux distro, or someone making the same type of art 5 times in a row on my all feed. I did come across as a bit crass on my post, that’s on me. I’m not as jaded as I come across, just annoyed at some of the quirks of All I notice every day.
I do the same.
