Blocking communities doesn't work at all (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been attempting to block communities I don't want to see on my main feed, but it's pretty much impossible to do these days because the communities get mirrored on so many different instances that when you block one single community 5 times, there are still 3 more versions on different instances with the exact same crap. Block them? There's still more!

This site is rapidly becoming completely useless, the way I've been using it before.

Well, if you block one instance itself in entirety, you can still access some of the communities on other instances, so there is a fairly useful purpose there for some people. Also, the comment sections can take a different tone depending on the community which uses that instance.
