How to see list of things I've blocked, and can I block with wildcards?

A list of blocked magazines / people / domains can be found under settings, which appears as a drop down under your username, here: https://kbin.social/settings/blocked/magazines (this is the link to blocked magazines but there are links above the list to see blocked people and domains)

Edit: Oh and as far as I know, at the moment you can not use wildcards

Thanks. I appear to be blocking what Kbin calls magazines. So far I've blocked 30 meme magazines, 8 of which were called "memes" (albeit on different domains). Not quite sure what I'm achieving as more appear each day.

What I don't fully understand is the page/tab where I'm blocking things is titled "Threads", and I never use the Magazines tab.

Guess I have to unlearn some reddit mental baggage.

If you haven't wrapped your head around it yet: magazines are equivalent to subreddits. The "magazines" tab is just a place to search for new subreddits. The "threads" tab is where posts in those subreddits will actually show up — if you're on the homepage, you'll see posts from a variety of magazines just like the homepage on reddit shows you posts from a variety of subreddits. You can then block posts from certain subreddits from showing up on that homepage.

I've changed my homepage to the subscriptions page because I'm just not interested in most of what's on the default homepage. No more memes (or news, or stuff about lemmy). :)
