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?

Doesn't really address the overall issue of filtering out a massive amount of communities that are of no interest to a user though. I just jumped on there. There are 17 new communities. 1 of which might be of interest. That ratio sounds like an awful grind to keep up with.
