Most of the time, I read the “subscribed” feed, sorted by scaled. Maybe once a week or once a month I check what’s in the “all” feed, sorted by top of the week or something like that.
My opinion is, that this is the better way to see the stuff I care about, and it allows me to ignore all the stuff I don’t care about. I’ve seen many people say that you should read the “all” feed, but I just don’t seem much value in that. There are a few people who agree with me, but we appear to be a minority here, hence the unpopular part of this opinion.
I’m gonna give you the opposite approach. I browse all but then keep blocking communities I do not care about at all. It allows me to still see a lot of stuff I would normally not subscribe to and I get to see when new communities rise up. I also alternate between sorting for hot and active.
This is what I do. It’s very satisfying to keep your “All” feed pruned. Easy to do when Lemmy’s not that big.
Seriously? I’ve been working on my list since the api thing and I still get 3 foreign language communities a day. And now that I’ve blocked so much it’s mostly just dreck.
I do the same. The foreign language ones aren’t so bad, it’s the anime ones, especially the creepy porny ones I hate. I block them constantly, but it’s like a creepy incel hydra. Every head I cut off three more spring up in their place.
Oh god yes! That Moe guy is one pervy dude! That is what will keep lemmy from being attractive to new comers.
Is it mostly just one guy? Because I could save a lot of time by just blocking that person.
Either you’re hilarious or this is proof you’ve been blocking properly.
Haha I must be blocking properly because I have no idea what you’re talking about my dude.
A ton of those pervy anime communities have “Moe” in the title. I don’t know what it refers to, but perhaps big tits?
Sometimes I translate those foreign language memes with Google lens, it’s kinda fun
I do the same. My favorite is ich_iel. I get the sense that many participants in that community are also using translation.
I think you block more than me lol I mostly just block the porn and anime, anything I wouldn’t want to scroll past on my work computer. I leave the language ones alone because I like seeing how Lemmy is growing.
In my android client I simply switch off NSFW posts. That gets rid of most of these.
This is the way.
That’s how I do it. I tend to sort by hot because active doesn’t tend to update as often. Hot shows new content more often and I can filter out more communities I’m not interested in.
That’s a fine approach too. You’re essentially using a black list filter, while I’m using a white list.
