I used Reddit for nothing but memes and niche technical content, so I hope we can eventually get the same here on Lemmy.
The real problem is that everyone is using the "All" tab as a content feed. Ideally everyone would subscribe to communities and then they wouldn't have to worry about seeing things they don't want to see. Lemmy needs to be bigger before we can break that anti-pattern.
What I don't get is why people would expect it to be any good. If you went over to reddit, and somehow actually got it to sort by literally "all" subs, and especially if you flipped over to "new"...
That is just not going to be anything but a shitty experience.
Do people think like, everything that exists must somehow be good or something? No, meh content is everywhere, and it gets reposted and shared all the time. It's the bulk of it... We're better than reddit would be, but I still don't use all very much. Mainly just use it to find decent new communities to actually subscribe to.
Except that if you want a break from all the horrible news of the day, you have to avoid subscribing to all those channels so your subscribed view is spared the aggravation, then the only way to see that is in All. So blocking communities you’re not interested in ever seeing is the only complimentary solution that makes sense. If only some people would figure that out instead of whining constantly about seeing some communities over and over again. “I don’t understand why this community exists and keeps showing up in my feed.” Cool story, bro. Block it and move on.
I should add that some apps, like Voyager, help narrow down things by providing an option to hide all subscribed channels from the All view. So if you want, you can keep the content separate that way as well. Between that and autohiding already read posts, it’s not that hard to not get overwhelmed by the All feed.
Why are you blocking communities in all, rather than viewing ‘subscribed’?
Not OP, but every now and then I will view all to discover communities I may want to subscribe to. Blocking ones that appear a lot in the ‘all’ feed but are of no interest to me (memes, anime,…) sanitises the list a bit
Fair point. I do the same, but I'be blocked onlt a handful of communities. I like watching the weird stuff float by in all.
My Reddit app had hundreds of keywords, domains and subs in the filters by the time I left Reddit. You seem to be getting some criticism in the comments here, but I think what you're doing here is good. It's up to you to curate the content you want to see, and instead of raging in a community to complain about low effort posts or spam or bots, if it works out better to block them then you should.
My block list is entirely made up of right-wing propaganda, SJW blowhards, anime, and foreign language communities.
Makes things so much easier to scroll, but it takes a lot of time to get here.
right-wing propaganda, SJW blowhards, anime, and foreign language communities.
What are they so I can block them too?
It’s a LONG list. I don’t know how to put it all together aside from screenshotting the entire thing.
Your post itself is mildly infuriating
Sounds like a you problem
Block the bots, not the communities.
