My problem is that there ain’t enough content yet, so I browse all
Please help by contributing content. Lemmy will not grow and thrive if we all lurk.
Yes, but still, if you want more new content right now, you’re going to need to browse All.
The user base is a fraction of the size of Reddit.
You can also block meme communities, that's what I did.
I'm with you. I blocked the most prolific meme communities and the main posting bots and my feed looks way better now. Remember that you can click on the community name and there's a "block" option on the sidebar, which works on all views. Same with users.
Wish I could do this with instances. Personally don't want to scroll all and see a load of porn from lemmy.world, blurred or not.
I'll be surprised if that option isn't coming soon, a lot of people have asked for it. In the meantime, there's a profile setting for not showing NSFW content if that helps. Oh, and I'm betting that, like with Reddit, a giant percentage of the NSFW content comes from a much smaller set of communities, so you might try blocking those to at least reduce it.
Tried the blocking communities. Unfortunately lemmy.world seems to have a sprawl of these that for individual kinks I guess.
I'm not complaining too much that it's there. Just annoying that it pops up.
I didn't block NSFW content to begin with because I thought there might be some gory stuff that I'm missing out on, but it turns out it's all porn :D
I think none of it is actually on .world, it's almost all on lemmynsfw.com and a couple others.
The gore (or, at least, deaths, is in c/Ukraine. I'd rather see the porn though.
What are your interests?
There is !casualconversation@lemmy.world !personalfinance@lemmy.ml, !parenting@lemmy.world and !moviesandtv@lemmy.film that are a bit out of the usual tech/memes/news bubble
Well… tech, news, memes. Also politics and history
Then there's quite some content for you
I do the same because there isn’t a single community that I care about that isn’t silent if it even exists. Pretty damn boring.
