Code for people interested
app/admin/routes.py#L373 (removed since posting), app/cli.py#L1026
I commented it out, rebuild the Docker containers and it works now 👍
EDIT: People seem to misunderstand what it does. It prevents it from federating automatically when populating the community search, importing from another instance or from Lemmyverse. It’s not a full block, and you can still add it manually. Not only that, but it’s also already partially removed since I posted this.

They aren’t complaining that there aren’t enough filters. They’re pointing out just how stupid and futile filtering a few words is in the first place.
There may also be a misunderstanding, or perhaps this argument is only one of those that only looks smart from far away, but either way to clarify: this list isn’t truly a filter list, it’s a listing of community NAMES that will get filtered out.
For one thing, (sadly) there aren’t so many Latin-speaking instances in the Threadiverse?
And I tried to search for community names for some of the others, but did not find any? e.g. https://feddit.org/search?q=scheisse&type=Communities&listingType=All, https://feddit.org/search?q=joder&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll, etc.
So is it really “stupid” then, to block communities that don’t even exist? ich_el would be an example of one that would actually exist, although I don’t think that one needs to be filtered out. I was saying that if there is really truly one that should be filtered, then it could be added to the list?
If someone wanted a less ah… “argumentative” subset of the Threadiverse, then I could see how filtering out “fuck_cars” would achieve that end (not that I agree with having such a listing, or in the exact contents of this one, but I do disagree that it is “stupid” as in ineffectual to have made the list in this way - it is achieving some kind of a purpose, and with people’s help that purpose could itself be changed, or if kept intact then the list enhanced to function even better than it has been doing so far).
But the “tits” filter can apply to “partits” (Catalan, means parties in English) or “partitsocialista”. And now there are no communities with those names… but what if someone in the future wants to create them?
