Just started on Lemmy. I love how new things pop up but is there a way to not have things show up but not necessarily resort to blocking the community. Star Wars memes for my example.

This will be fixed in the 0.18 release

Probably the easiest way at the moment would be to subscribe to those communities you're interested in and switch the feed to subscribed. Otherwise whether you're viewing local or all you're going to get some communities you may not be interested in seeing.

Personally I block the ones I really don't have an interest in, but I understand not wanting to if you don't have to.
