It might be nice if lemmy clients (voyager, default client, etc) would make a suggestive pop-up:

Would you like to block this community? Your downvote ratio is 100% over the last X days/Y posts.

This is good for lemmy because it will let users have a more positive experience, its helping guide people to get better use of the user interface.

If would be more productive to encourage blocking by making it more powerful/less of a chore.

general categories/tags to filter out (plus allow-list) rather than manual blocking
put 'block community' in more options so blocking can be done with less clicks (/for nsfw comms)
a way to limit how many posts from a community are shown on the same page, or from the same user (maybe an option like only show most relevant post per hour/half-hour etc)
- ideally communities would allow setting how posts are sent to all, even if it's just a post setting
- or posts could be more aggressively grouped, similar with crossposts (or things that were not detected as a crosspost but likely should've been)

Also honestly once a block list is 50+ it already seems like named blocklists are needed to properly manage things.
