Do I have to block communities I don't care about?

I'm starting to understand the whole federated feed thing, but I'd like more control over it. E.g., I'm on a national instance, so I get every little small town community popping up. Do I just have to block them as I go until I don't see them anymore, or is there a better way?

On your main view page you can swap between "local" (all the community you see now) "all" which I guess is all, and "subscribed" which is only ones you're subscribed too.

If you sub to a bunch of communities, you can make your view page set to "subscribed" and only see relevant posts

yes, "subscribed" is probably what you're looking for.

just to clarify at bit: "local" is any post to any local community, and "all" is all local and remote posts.

Also to expand on this, for lemmy.ca, the "local" communities are these https://lemmy.ca/communities
