When blocking a community, crossposts from that community should also be blocked or filtered out.
If I block a community is because I don’t want to see anything from it, but if someone crosspost from there I have the content that I don’t like in my curated feed.
For example, I’m interested in a certain topic and I follow community A which focuses in that topic. There is also community B which covers the same topic but using AI to generate content. I block B, however since A doesn’t have a rule against AI, people crosspost a lot from B to A.
AI is the most frequent content that I see in my my feed due crosspost, but there is also multiple cases that I block a community centered in a topic that I don’t want to see and someone crosspost from said community to memes or similar.
Maybe there are people fine with how it works right now and want to see when someone crosspost drama from said community, but there should be be the option to enable filtering out them.
I just had this experience again with one of the obnoxious moe communities. NSFW/porn-adjacent stuff is most of what I have blocked because I don’t like it. I don’t want questionable pseudo-porn in my feed at all, and it’s really hard to avoid (though real porn was easy enough to block).
I had them all blocked, but a new one got rolled up (I assume that dude keeps rolling them up to get around the plethora of blocks those communities have) and I hadn’t encountered it yet. It shared a gross post I’d otherwise never have had the displeasure of seeing.
Perhaps a toggle setting to either block those cross posts or not, so people who are trying to block the content can, while those trying to block the places but not the content can also do that.
