How to make subscribed feed more diversed? (self.asklemmy)

submitted 1 year ago by DeriHunter to c/[email protected]

21 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hi guys, I'm on lemmy since the reddit api announcement and am subscribed to tens of communities. When I'm setting my feed to watch topics only from Subscribed communities (hot/active), I see a lot of topics from the same communities, like 10 topics in a row from 1 community then 3 from a different one and again from the first one. My point is that I want to get diversed topic from all subscribed communities ( I know there are new and hot topics there) and not seeing repeated communities only. Is there a way to make some communities show less topics or make the feed more diverse (other than I subscribe to the loud ones) ?

I unsubscribed from memes because it was flodding my feed way too much. It's better now.

Memes is honestly terrible. At first I got a tiny mild chuckle out of it but now it's just too prominent.

Same. Today the user spamming 7 different memes was the last drop in my bucket.

Since unsubbing it is a so much better experience

I recommend that everybody keep two accounts on their instance of choice (as long as this is within the rules of your instance). Keep one account for all the "brain on" stuff, and one account for the "brain off' stuff. You know what I mean, interpret it how you like.

If you're using one of the mobile apps, most of them support very easy quick account switching, which makes this even easier on your phone. It definitely makes it a lot more manageable, in my experience.

It’s crazy how much unfunny crap is posted there. So much better now that I unsubbed

Dude, seriously. At least two meme communities I’ve seen were also on this rage comic era nostalgia jerk and it got even worse than before. Those memes are in the past cause they’re usually no longer funny, idk how they can’t tell.

And some of the comments are like “wow idk why people are downvoting this, what a downer”. Like don’t kid yourself, come on lmao
