Lemmy really needs something like topics, categories or tags you can opt-in or -out of. There are just too many communities to subscribe one by one and if I browse everything theres so much super boring niche stuff, like some Go library releasing version 0.02-beta. I mean that’s nice for those 5 Go programmers waiting for that, i guess, but they are probably subscribed to it anyway.
I remember someone attempted to create an instance to centralize all content from nsfw instances so your All feed is explicitly nsfw and you don’t need to subscribe. Dunno what happened but I think the instance is gone now.
Not exactly. When you join either of those instances, you’ll only see their hosted content by default and you’ll have to manually subscribe to communities on the other. The instance I was talking about was intended to federate with all known nsfw instances only. So when you browse All, it’s strictly only communities from nsfw instances giving you access to purely nsfw content.
I browse an All > New to find communities I like. There’s not really so much content that it’s overwhelming, unlike if you did that with a huge site like reddit.

I calles this ages ago. The federated nature is counter to community growth and discoverability.
Lemmy as a platform needs support built in for this problem.
It’s also painful that servers upgrade lemmy versions and suddenly they are unavailable on apps. Or old versions similarly break.

Even that is better than the massive waves of posts in languages I don’t understand.
You can change this via your account in your instance (not all apps have these settings)
I leave Undetermined, English and German.
I only ever get English and German 👍
Thank you! I didn’t know about this setting.
I suffer from that in Mastodon because I follow hashtags, but in Lemmy? No way, all I see is English in Everything.
Also I have more than 800 subscribed communities so I have a better understandable feed.
I’ve stuck with sorting by “local” and that seems to work for me. At least on Connect for Lemmy
I am new here and I do not understand how to find the stuff I want to see. So far I blocked a lot of porn, though.
I have two accounts. One has NSFW off and the other on.
Too bad there is no option for “NFSW only”

lemmynsfw.com and pornlemmy.com do that.

Switch to All-Hot
I do this too, but also use separate apps. Dont want to open the app after forgetting to switch accounts.
Until some communities stop marking their shit as NSFW. Not everyone wants to see that MMA bodies fetish shit in the middle of checking news.
