I kinda wish related communities shared a common instance (aussie.zone)

One of the most annoying parts about That Place, and also Lemmy, is curating your feed by blocking communities you have no interest in seeing.

I am not a sports person, so I need to block each sports team manually when I see it, and also each individual sport. It would be so much better if I could just block an instance called "Lemmy.sports".

I'm glad Lemmy.nsfw is the default porn instance, I think we need to see more of this.

I know it's too late to change at this point, but I think a feature to catagorise different communities would be nice, so I could block "sports" if I wanted to.

Alternatively, maybe down the line see a feature to import a community to a new instance without users having to migrate manually.

Expecting communities related to a certain topic to coalesce on a single server doesn't seem like a good idea to me, but having some kind of community metadata would definitely be nice. As you said it'd be useful as a way to filtering out certain topics, and it might also be handy for community discovery.

Exactly.

I would like to see these categories in a cascaded list. For example, if there was a list for location-based communities, I could block "cities" and "countries" but leave and "continents" active.

This way I can still see news about "Europe", but not the communities of languages I don't speak.

Not coalesce. But could there be a way communites could create federated communities?
