Am I correct in assuming that blocking a community stops it from showing in your feed? I see a lot of posts from communities in languages I don’t speak and would like them to not show up on my feed. So I blocked a few, but I’m not 100% sure if what I did has the intended effect.

(Maybe it’s just because to me, blocking a person seems like something I wouldn’t do to someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, haha XD)

    a bit late to the party but I was is the same boat as you so here it goes:
    I have not found an option to hide them without blocking but if your issue is mainly languages that you don’t speak, in lemmy setting you can select to show only stuff that are in languages you select.
    also you can deselect “undetermined” option for language to not get non-selected language for post that don’t set their languages.

    Just to be clear, I think someone doesn’t have to have done something wrong for you to block them. The block list is an important self-care tool and you don’t need a reason to look out for yourself. <3
