The homepage for a particular Lemmy instance gives you a few options to filter the feed of posts. You get Subscribed, Local and All. The problem I am having is that I want to see more than what I am subscribed to in order to find new communities, but I don’t want to be limited by the local instance. However, when you select all the amount of communities is exceedingly large and scrolls too quickly.
It would be nice if there was a way to subscribe to an instance in general. Some kind of instance whitelist. Maybe this defeats the purpose of every instance being as good as any other instance, but I feel like there needs to be some kind of advanced filtering options here.
Agreed. I feel like subscription customization will be a very powerful feature that even Reddit can’t match. Their multireddit leaves a lot to be desired.
Maybe they will implement a ‘slow mode’ soon as they were talking about on GitHub, that would disable live inserts and thus the scrolling and would only refresh manually through the user.
Also the live feed doesn’t even respect what sorting you have selected. It should be just disabled by default since it’s so buggy at the moment.
