Do you just go to the home/feed and let it be fed to you? Do you have things you follow specifically and nothing else? Somewhere in between?
Lemmy is all I use, and since it’s so small I just browse /all and when I keep seeing subs I’m not interested in (or a language I don’t understand) I just block them so I don’t see them anymore.
Then I’ve instance blocked a couple places because of how their mods/admins act so I don’t accidentally stumble into a sub from that instance.
You could try to curate a list of subscriptions, but I just don’t think Lemmy is big enough for that yet, and you’d miss new subs.
I use the web client, but it should be wherever your block list is. Webclient you have to manually type it in, there should be three sections:
Accounts
Communities
Instances
So if you can’t figure it out in your app, you can just sign on via a webpage to block instances and that should effect the app since it’s about your account and not the client.
I don’t see a way to do it in Voyager’s settings, but if you go to lemmy.world in a web browser and go to your settings, there is a “Block” tab at the top next to settings. Go to that and you can block users, instances, or communities.
I don’t follow much social media, beside Lemmy and maybe YT.
And then, since self-inflicted pain is not my thing, I only read those communities (and watch those channels) I have chosen to subscribe to.
Same. Unfortunately my youtube got flooded with right wing bullshit this month
I do Lemmy by subscribed/new until I get to something I recognize. I scroll Facebook a bit to see what my distant family is doing and to see what’s going on in the work/industry/hobby groups that I follow. I check Facebook marketplace local to see if there’s anything cool. Then I read the news for local stuff and to see what didn’t get posted here. Then if I’m super bored I go back to Lemmy/All
I search YouTube for how-to videos or specific songs. The only time I really take recommendations is on music - I like to pick the recommended song that’s least similar to the song that I just listened to and keep doing that to see where it takes me.
I don’t use social media except Lemmy. I refuse to eat bad food, so why would I consume bad content? And stay away from commenting sections like YouTube and Steam unless you like brain rot. People be peopleing.
