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 browse by new, so I often see the spam advertising and bad faith garbage (Logic_&_Ethics anyone?) so I just block liberally

I literally don't know what I'm missing

ETA: I also don't have a language set, so if I see a foreign language community with no English posts or comments I'll just block it

I've blocked a couple of the top 10ish most prolific posters, so I know I'm missing out on some quality content. That's one benefit I see to tagging instead of blocking, if my client had that feature
