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.
im subbed to ~700 communities across dozens of servers. the https://moist.catsweat.com/all/newest queue is always hoppin
then theres the microblog stuff where i follow a few mastodon, universodeon peeps.
I open Jerboa and start scrolling with it showing me everything sorted by newest comment so only the posts people are talking in show up at the top. When I see something interesting, I open it.
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.
I look through my subscriptions first and then through all but I block magazines where I have no interest in the topics or are in a foreign language relative to me.
