Is there a way to filter out a category of community? (lemmy.world)

I'm fairly new here and I'd like to use it more, but, there are a variety of general categories of communities that I'd like to never see. So instead of blocking them 1 by 1 as they pop up I'd like to have the ability to say "Block all communities that are sports related" for instance.

I realize the alternative is to look only at the ones you subscribe to but then how do you discover other communities that were just created without flipping back to Show Me Everything?

I think we’d need a category system to allow people to weed out categories. As far as I know we don’t have to categorise communities when we create them, which means unless you’re relying on keywords you’re going to struggle to (pun intended) categorically block everything relating to a thing you don’t like.
