Why block everything except the few you like, when you could just subscribe to the things you want to see then stay out of /All?

I really want to do this, but it would be impractical to go through the thousands of communities available and decide if I like it or not. It also doesn’t account for new ones which means I’d have to keep going through the list and look for the ones I haven’t looked at yet. Therefore, I’ve just done it Reddit-style where I look at what’s the top posts of the day and see if I like what I see.

You’re basically saying “Blocklists are too hard and white lists are even worse, why can’t the software just know what I like?”

How should it know what you like?

So, sub to the ones you come across that you like, then browse your subs most of the time and just check All occasionally to see if something new catches your eye.

That’s how I used reddit and it worked out great.

Or he could as easily block the ones he doesn’t like and stay in all. Just depends how picky he is. Granted, the fact we’re having this discussion implies he’s fairly picky.

I feel I want three sections in my app: one for all, one for a selection of subscribed communities, one for ‘most’ with a bunch of communities blocked. Maybe I should just use multiple accounts and flip between.

Or* a second subscribed feed with a larger subscription list, so my smaller list of niche communities doesn’t get drowned out.

Separate accounts works great for this. That’s basically how I do it.
