So, how do you deal with communities that don't interest you? I personally block them, because I don't like them popping up on my All feed, but at the same time I don't want to switch to Subscribed because a new interesting community might pop up.

What's your strategy?

I only block them if they spam my feed (like memes and 196) or I'm strongly opposed to their content. Otherwise I just ignore them the old fashioned way.

I blocked 196 but left memes because it's less obnoxious. The only other things I've been blocking are the various pics-of-specific-celebrity communities.
