I am writing to ask if there is a way to clean the lemmy feed out. As far as I see, mastodon follows rss like subscription model while as in lemmy i get plenty of politicial, memes, controversial stuff even if I don’t subscribe them. I am tired honestly to block pretty much all such communities and it doesn’t help too much too because there is plenty such communities f.e. “onion” “not onion”. How do you deal with setting lemmy to serve you only technology / science / news ( only related to tech and science ), cosmos, engineering ones and arts ones ( photography, paintings etc )? I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I struggle to use lemmy as a new user

    Lemmy is a barren landscape of emptiness of your stray outside of All.

      Local can be OK depending on your instance.

      It’s a fact, though, that Lemmy is way too small to just follow a bunch of niche communities (which I felt was the best way to use Reddit)

          I only browse by subscribed because I don’t subscribe to communities with “memes” and “shitposts”, if a community has too many of them I unsubscribe to them.

        Or how much time you spend on Lemmy. When I hit my pockets of ADD procrastination I run out of active content on All pretty quick.
