New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual ‘responsibility’ lies.

It would be great to be able to mass-block communities from lists, rather than tiresomely do them one -at-a-time from ‘All’.

It would also be useful to see the list for subscribing, as I don’t know what’s out there until I see it. Sometimes I can’t think of something to search for until I see it.

Perhaps this lies more with individual apps/ clients rather than the Lemmy ecosystem…?

May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?

Anyone?

(BTW I’m sorry that I posted this also a reply to an earlier post. I cannot figure out how to delete it.)

On the 1-1 part, 'all' is an aggregate of anything subscribed by someone on your instance, but hiding them from your feed en'masse should be doable from either a client or web frontend. Maybe check a few different ones and see if any have that feature.

1-2 is more difficult since there isn't a central list of all communities on all instances, but there are some sites that you can browse through several like https://lemmyverse.net/communities?nsfw=null for a starting point.

As to 2.0, it's a preference thing. Some people like RSS feeds to have stuff come in, some want a more personal touch. If it's actual news of good province I'll keep them, but garbage memes can go.

TBH I’ve never been able to figure out RSS feeds. Just my smooth brain.

But yeah it would be awesome to dump garbage “sources”.
