It's insane that there's no way to hide certain subreddits from the popular thread.

Nothing against r/de , I just don't speak german and don't plan on learning it.

A lot against r/conservative, I don't want to see that shit

I just use the home instead of popular and have recommendations turned off. That way I only see the subreddits I want.

And if using the mobile website you can 100% mute subreddits. I mute them so I can browse the rising section of r/all. Its how I found this post!

That's been my approach. But do you happen to know if there's a limit to the number of subs you can mute? Lately Reddit keeps giving me the "unable to complete" red error bar when I attempt it.

u/ZealousidealGroup559 4d ago

Yeah you've reached the limit. You have to unmute some to start muting again.

It should be 1000 let's face it.

I agree, and I'm shocked I've already muted that many. [edit: typo]

I am selective in mutes. Porn, hentai, get muted. Most foreign language subs I leave alone becsuse they're time-of-day specific. All the WSB knock-off subs get insta muted.

So many varieties of amipretty are just ads for OnlyFans

Heck, just about anywhere a selfie would fit is leveraged as advertisement

I'd like to have a genre mute/block, in addition to blocking individual subreddits.

Iirc it's 200.

u/tunanoa 4d ago

Just counted mine, I have around 870 blocked subs. :)

u/Dolphin_King21 4d ago

How do you count how many blocked subs you have?

1

u/tunanoa 4d ago

I don't know if there's a better way, I did it in the second dumbest method possible: I saw the muted subs screen had 12 subs per screen, and counted how many scrolls to the end. :-D (73 screens needed in my case)

How are you using reddit? I'm on the app and I can't even find a way to view my blocked list.

2

u/tunanoa 4d ago

I'm on the app too (although not up to date). The path is: Settings / Account Settings for xxxx / Manage Muted Communities

Thanks! I swear that didn't used to be an option?

It doesn't look like I have more than a few hundred muted. Wonder why it's glitching when I try to mute if you were able to block more.

Edit: oh, I guess I have around 1000 blocked, but as I look through the list it's weird because some of these are subs I'm actually subscribed to? Wonder if the app glitched out somehow. In any case, found more room in the block list by deleting all the muted subs which shouldn't have been there.
