There’s not much left after adding everything after linuxmemes!
So wtf do you even like?
Judging by their post and comment history, their interests are very, very narrow
So are mine. I’m bummed that most of my hobbies only have a token presence (if any) on Lemmy. I have a decent sized list of blocked communities to make /all a bit less tiresome. But I’m certainly not posting that list and whining about things not being exactly as I want them. I just upvote (mostly), contribute where I feel the need (no, I do not have the spoons to try and carry entire niche communities), and hope one day enough people trickle in that those niches feel less like ghost towns.
In which case simple search and subscribe works well.
Unfortunately, I still have to use Reddit for stuff like r/RISCV, r/nattyorjuice, and r/NVDA_stock, so the only thing I come to Lemmy for (hopefully only right now!) is memes.
I mean if you start a RISCV community on Lemmy I’d show up. I’m sure a bunch of people would; seems like a logical extension of the FOSS movement to the hardware world.
so the only thing I come to Lemmy for … is memes.
But you’re blocking so many cool meme communities.
I personally block memes because i am blind and cant see them. There are just so many in “All” but i browse all after my subscribed to see if anything catches my attention. I have found good communities to sub to from all, but so many memes.
There’s a community for NVIDIA stock? Tf do they even talk about?
I got you OP - my blocklist is now 100s of communities. But I much rather browse all and discover new things, rather than sub to a couple specific communities and never discover anything new.
I wouldn’t call it mildly infuriating though. Its just how I choose to browse
Same. I tend to block all the local communities. Like tbh I don’t really care what’s happening in like Boston
You should just delete your Lemmy app and exclusively watch Disney movies and play with your legos
Stop trying to tempt me into a healthy lifestyle
Just keep an eye on your marshmallow intake, we don’t want you getting the diabetes
Marshmallows are my comfort food to distract me from falling back into my Lemmy addiction.
Just don’t start melting em down like those mellowhead junkies down on 3rd. I care about you too much homie
Thanks, that means a lot to me.
Most downvoted post on Lemmy?
Lol. Is everyone like, “noo, my community isn’t boring, you’re boring! :'(”
Came here since the Reddit 3rd party app fiasco. Initially I blocked a load of non English language communities which at the time seemed to fill the All feed. Kept adding to my subscribed communities list then in my app (Voyager after Liftoff stopped being developed) blocked a load of keywords, essentially Trump/US politics related.
Now my Home (subscriptions) feed has some great content. I check out All from time to time to see if I can subscribe to more communities.
Niche communities are still lacking but hopefully that improves over time.
A couple on there that I missed … on my include list that is. Thanks.
Some of those have one post a week on a good week, so yer obviously trolling.
I don’t really get why you need to block communities. I block users but that is because they comment and post about communism on every single community. Luckily there are only a handful of users who do this.
I do wish Lemmy was a little more politically neutral. I just try to ignore the political stuff. I also choose a instance that isn’t focused on politics.
why? because you don’t want to see certain things in your feed. people come hwre for various things. some people come here to mentally relax, so they don’t want to hear about negative topics like wars or people Fighting all the time. other people just are not interested in certain topics or posts but have them flood their feed.
example: i come here for relaxing mentally and to see posts about topics I’m interested in. so I don’t want to see negative stuff like causalities in wars, hearing people complain what bad things they experienced this day, what stuff has gone wrong in their life and other negative stuff. another example is lemmynsfw where I don’t want to see males showing their genitals to me since I’m interested in women, not guys. so i block communitys who are about such things.
short: because people don’t want ro see certain stuff. that’s why there is a block function. lemmy without a block function wouldn’t be useable since you get flooded with tons of posts you aren’t interested in by default without any blocks.
I personally just don’t subscribe to communities overrun by communists. I am not saying the ability to block communities is bad, I just don’t use it myself
I do it so that I can browse c/all too
There are also the communities like worldnews@lemmy.ml that seem okay at first but then you realize the mods are tankies.
As a rule of thumb avoid Lemmy[.]ml
Generally a good idea but they still have many of the biggest communities.
Those sure are some rookie block numbers.
My community block list is about 450 items long and the one for users is even longer.
Blocking is the boring way. Shit post until they ban you.
