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.

Keep at it, if curating All is what you want. That's how I use this site too, and so far I've blocked over 900 communities - it has made All SO MUCH better.

You'll burn through the redundant communities.

Just don't try to do it all in one go - hit a few on each scroll and it'll add up without being a very noticeable effort.

I wish there were giant lists of related communities and an easy way to import them as blocks. Want to block all sports team communities? Here are all 1,000 of them. All the anime communities? Here are all 90,000,000 of them.

Community tags would enable that. Vice versa, it'd make those kinds of groupings easy to find and subscribe to for those interested.
