Posting How do you block sub reddits

Been trying to block a very political sub Reddit so I’m not just blasted with out of context, photos, and politics is there anyway of how I can do this?

You can go to the subreddit and tap the three dots in the upper right and select mute.

You can also go into your settings and type the name in so you don’t go there and make the algorithm think you want more like it. It is in account settings on the app and preferences tab on a browser.

This only works for home and popular feed.

You can block them from the all feed by going here on a browser and adding them to the list on the right. https://old.reddit.com/r/all/

thanks, also was interested in blocking some a sub with subpar moderators.

Except you are wrong as mute keeps subreddits off of popular and adding subreddits to the block list does keep them off the feed.
