So, how do you deal with communities that don't interest you? I personally block them, because I don't like them popping up on my All feed, but at the same time I don't want to switch to Subscribed because a new interesting community might pop up.

What's your strategy?

I block them. I don't need to dislike them or anything. I just don't find them interesting and will never interact with them, so blocking is one of the ways to accomplish that and has no downsides.
