Is it possible to block communities by name? Or is there any workaround to do so?

Specifically I am not interested in .*Moe posts. So whenever a “SomethingMoe” pops up in my feed, I block that community. However, unlike most other communities, they seem to have a never ending source of permutations of their names. This can get very tiring, as blocking them makes the general feed contain less, but never any of these posts.

I guess I could write a script, which blocks any community with the regex /.*[Mm]oe.*/gm and run it periodically. But I am a lazy bugger and neither want to write the script nor run it semi-periodically.

    Those all seem to be modded by the same two accounts with identical names…

    It’s going to be waaaaaay easier to just block their accounts, then to block all the weird communities they keep making.

    Stuff like this is very unlikely to have active communities, just unhinged moderates who spam their special interest constantly.

    Whats really fucking annoying is the guy who has accounts on 20 different instances and keeps making them to spam the same bullshit

      11 of those comms are on ani.social, an anime-centric instance where it is totally legit to split “pictures of anime girls” into more specific comms. It’s not unhinged or spam at all, but if you don’t want to see anime, probably best to block ani.social tbh.

      I for one like to see all the moe on top of my local feed and not pushed down to page 5 of global.
