If this meme was about Lemmy, it would be getting blasted by furry post
Thank God I've blocked those communities.
Any communities in particular a new Lemmy user like me should steer clear of?
I've personally blocked a lot of furry, nsfw, news bots (they usually have "bot" in the name of the comm or user), and the more toxic communist ones.
It really doesn't take a lot of work to curate your feed as you go. Glad to have you here!
Thanks!
New Lemmy user, new to the fediverse or both?
New to both. I created my Lemmy account around the time all the API crap was happening with Reddit. Still getting used to the fediverse. I like the smaller community sizes here. Feels like there's more room to breathe.
Ok, good to know. I’m also a new user from the Reddit api BS. Here’s what I know, depending on if you want to see NSFW content or not, find a instance that serves your needs. Be prepared that in the beginning, using the “All” feature, will be the best way to decipher what content you want to see and what you don’t. Block communities you don’t like, subscribe to the ones you do and don’t do either the ones you are on the fence about. Over time, your “Subscribed” filter will be great. It’s a pain in the beginning, but necessary and good since there’s not a algorithm MAKING THESE DECISIONS FOR YOU. I love the fact that I can control what I do see and what I don’t. Switching accounts on Lemmy is very easy to do to keep things organized in case you want an account for NSFW content and one you don’t…you know…for research purposes.
I agree on being able to control your feed. I'll keep it on "All" while I work on curating my subscribed communities. Thanks for the tips!
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but antiwork and related pages are full of mis/disinformation that is very misleading and dangerous if large groups are swayed by it. The people there are particularly aggressive and savage about it when their ignorance is pointed out in good faith. Again I get it and their hearts are usually in the right place, but I'd recommend steering clear.
I haven't come across them and I usually browse ALL. Is this a product of what lemmy.world defeded?
Probably. I haven't really seen much pop into my feed either lately. I just assumed I nipped it in the bud, but there might be some defed action happening behind the scenes too. I take no credit here, I'm just exploring the space as they say.
I almost made this about some of the weirder lemmy communities, but I didn't want it to be taken as mean.
I know how you feel and thank you for replying.
