One of the most annoying parts about That Place, and also Lemmy, is curating your feed by blocking communities you have no interest in seeing.
I am not a sports person, so I need to block each sports team manually when I see it, and also each individual sport. It would be so much better if I could just block an instance called “Lemmy.sports”.
I’m glad Lemmy.nsfw is the default porn instance, I think we need to see more of this.
I know it’s too late to change at this point, but I think a feature to catagorise different communities would be nice, so I could block “sports” if I wanted to.
Alternatively, maybe down the line see a feature to import a community to a new instance without users having to migrate manually.
It surprises me how many people apparently just dive right into to “All” feed. There’s waaaaayyy too much stuff I really don’t care about getting blasted into my eye-holes doing that.
It’s even more surprising when people claim they view the All feed on Mastodon. I mean… a good chunk of that is just bots barfing data that’s not even remotely related to me.
To me, “All” isn’t much better than letting The Algorithm pick what I read on Twitter/Reddit/Facebook/etc. Gross.
Yeah, all is something I check, not something I scroll.
