I will start by saying I have toyed with posting this because as soon as someone says they don’t wanna see it, someone will make a community for it. However I feel like some of the stuff that makes Reddit annoying is creeping over. And just because I don’t like it does not mean its not a valid community. So if it is least put in the right place (rather that the bigger generic communities) I can then just filter or block it.

Ill start I don’t want to see

  • Am I the arsehole
  • Relationship drama
  • Celebrity worship/drama

So what communities DON’T you want to see here?

    The best thing about Reddit is that it lets you mute any community you don’t like, and you can even block notifications and your timeline from giving you recommendations or suggestions altogether. So honestly, with all these features, Idk how anyone could still have a problem with certain communities existing!

      You can’t block any community you don’t like on reddit because there’s a limit on the number you can mute. I know this because I hit that limit before I deleted my account.

        Exactly this! I left Reddit after I’ve reached this limit too, couldn’t even block porn anymore, what a failure.

        Honestly, I didn’t know that there was a limit! That’s going to be annoying for people who don’t want to see certain subreddits, but at the same time don’t want to isolate themselves like me!

          It took me a while to figure out. I had a bad habit of scrolling r/popular for (effectively) infinite content, and I tried trimming it down to just stuff I liked by muting communities until one day it started giving me a simple error when I’d try to mute something. I searched around after a while and that’s when i found out about the limit. Reddit itself says nothing about the limit existing anywhere.

      because you can still be targeted/reported/harassed by those people and their communities.

      blocking/muting might give you peace of mind, but it doesn’t isolate you from the negative externalities those communities bring with them towards you or other users/communities.
