Cheers.

Majority of participants aren't from Beehaw.

Bar one person, it seems all of the Beehaw people in the thread have similar concerns to OP.

Majority of participants aren't from Beehaw.

How do you see that? Maybe I came late to that thread after it got moderated, or I subconsciously filter out non-Beehaw users, but is there like a counter I could see?

Under people's usernames on their comments in a thread.

So like, I recognise you from Beehaw & plenty of other regulars, but underneath "jarfil" it says "beehaw.org". Useful when skimming a thread to see which instance a given type of view is coming from.

It may be a setting which I enabled at some point - am using the Memmy app.

Being mindful of hijacking the top commenters concerns, I need to hop on a filtering bandwagon, as I don't want a front page that looks like r/all. Way better here, don't get me wrong, but does Memmy help you curate your experience?

My memory is so bad, that am not really sure.

I blocked a LOT of communities via browser & some via Memmy. I think most via browser as I could search for a topic then block all of the communities that contain that topic in their name.

It is relatively easy to block through Memmy, though you still have to see a post from a community you're disinterested in seeing in All, then open the community then opt to block it from a drop down menu in the top right. I see in the settings that it is possible to block instances & users, but haven't tried this yet.

And of course you can choose to avoid All & just view Local or Subscribed.

(Fwiw, also blocked masses of subreddits from appearing on r/all, but definitely have no idea how I did that.)
