Not sure if this is the right place to post, but when the reddit protests were happening, I used Lemmy for a bit then decided to detox from “social media” for a while till now. Am I misinterpreting the activity here?

    All, yes. And I have blocked most of the communities that call themselves “News” or similar, but almost only post US politics as news. Yet it still trickles down into other communities.

      Try going the other route, and explicitly subscribing to content you enjoy. From what I read you aren’t alone, that all is a firehouse and it’s not all fun. Subscribed to me is a much chiller experience

        This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn’t previously know about to add to my collection.

        But it’s true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.

        Amazing way to approach it!

        Just a wee bit afraid there would be just porn left after applying the “subscribe to me” rule 😉
