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.

    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?

                    Idk. A thing I’ve seen a couple times recently that I absolutely hate are upskirt pictures of animated children from Tv shows like Lisa Simpson. I’ve reported and blocked three communities and people now because of it. wtf is wrong with people.

          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.
