I usually browse Lemmy hot and just block any communities I don't find interesting. As I understand it, the blocking seems to be done by your instance. So is there a maximum number of communities a user can block on the instance side? And what is it?

I'm asking because I used to run into the maximum number of blocks on my Reddit client and it was pretty annoying when my oldest blocked subs would reappear again.

I imagine they must have some limit, otherwise that would be an easy exploit, just creating a practically infinitely long block list to crash the instance. I would get it if clients have an unlimites blocklist, but not instances.

Perhaps you are unaware of just how unstable Lemmy has been since late May.
