I kinda wish related communities shared a common instance (aussie.zone)

One of the most annoying parts about That Place, and also Lemmy, is curating your feed by blocking communities you have no interest in seeing.

I am not a sports person, so I need to block each sports team manually when I see it, and also each individual sport. It would be so much better if I could just block an instance called "Lemmy.sports".

I'm glad Lemmy.nsfw is the default porn instance, I think we need to see more of this.

I know it's too late to change at this point, but I think a feature to catagorise different communities would be nice, so I could block "sports" if I wanted to.

Alternatively, maybe down the line see a feature to import a community to a new instance without users having to migrate manually.

I think this problem could be partly solved with the option to curate your own feeds. Currently I am using Connect for Lemmy, and I see 3 feeds, Subscribed, Local, and All. It would be good to be able to create a new feed and populate it with content from specific communities.

And going even further, I should be able to make my feed public, so other people can subscribe to my custom feed too.

Maybe this is already an option with some of the other Lemmy apps?
