I’ve been lurking for over a year and I finally made an account 🎉

Now that I can customize the communities I see I’m wondering, what communities are you part of/do you recommend?

    Instead of joining communities, I browse all and block communities I don’t like. That way I am always aware of new or newly federated communities.

      good idea! I’ve already started blocking the german meme communities because I don’t speak german

        I’m blocking you because it’s annoying when people censor words…like PORN

        Lemmy has a languages setting that might be helpful here, but I never bothered to check what it actually does. Er, sorry. Just, it could be worth looking into.

        Blocking certain country focused instances can help, too.

          By default you see everything.

          If you start to select languages (Ctrl+Click on desktop, not sure about mobile), you won’t see non-selected languages anymore.

          Be careful to keep Undetermined as most of the content isn’t tagged.

            Yeah…

            I changed the language and I thought I was shadow banned for a couple of weeks…

            Not intuitive at all.
