    I wonder how many people give up on the fediverse without ever bothering to ask this very common question.

    Time to defederate from lemmy.ml and the other propaganda instances so the Fediverse has a chance of surviving.

      I almost did because of hexbear.net.

      I swear, we need instance tagging so that people can tag their instances as “right-leaning”, “left-leaning”, or “moderate” and let users just pre-emptively block wide swaths of the fediverse for themselves.

        Language would be a great option, too. I find all the non-English posts interesting in a puzzle sort of way, but honestly I don’t need them.

        I find my process for tailoring Lemmy to be the opposite of mine for Reddit. Reddit, I compiled a list of communities I was actively interested in and avoided /all entirely. Here, I’m always on All, and would rather just narrow down what “all” means.

          I think language is already an option but everyone just posts as “unknown” or “unspecified” or whatever it is

          I am in the same boat - Lemmy is like filtering down /all, which is nice for discovering new things, but in Reddit it is pretty nice to just accumulate things as you discover them and be spared the sometimes painful noise.
