[Request] Cross posts from blocked communities should be filtered out (lemmy.world)

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 normally only block communities because I don't want to accidentally comment on a community full of people I'm not going to get along with. I'm often fine discussing such things among different people. So I prefer not to have this change, but I can understand your reasoning and I don't disagree that it's a reasonable ask. Maybe as an optional account setting?

That’s why I mention about make it as something that the user can decide.
