How many users have you blocked? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don't want to see. I imagine I'm not the only one curious how my total compares to others'

I'm at 142, and I'm unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total

I use Connect and tag users rather than block them. That way, I can still see stuff that's posted but I have a hint as to whether or not they are someone with whom I want to interact.

That's a good idea! I like Eternity's UI too much to switch to an app with more features, unfortunately

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Ach, totally fair.

That's a feature I didn't know I needed. Too bad Connect is proprietary IIRC

Boost also has a tagging feature. Their Lemmy app may be even better than their old reddit app.

So does Thunder.
