As I scroll All I just block the communities that I don't want to see, usually German communities because I don't know their language and a lottt of porn communities I don't need to see that on Lemmy when I have google/duckduckgo

usually German communities because I don’t know their language

I don't browse All, but have you tried tweaking your language settings?

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just did a deep dive into my settings but couldn't find a language preference. I guess I can find common German words and add that to my blocked words filter. They will join Trump and Elon on the blocked list

Which front end? On the normal Lemmy-UI website it's below your avatar image setting, and above your theme choice

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I use rocket to view Lemmy most of the time. I see I can block nsfw posts. Maybe I should try it on my desktop later

Subscribed, new.

Also local, new and scaled.

Subscribed/scaled: this way c/Linux doesn't drown out the rest of my subscribed.

When I'm bored and run out of stuff to see, all/active. When I'm really bored but can't be bothered to go to anything productive, all/new.

Subscribed+Scaled

ensures that I see posts from the small communities that I'm interested in

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

All, Top Six Hours, Scroll till I reach around 25 upvotes, do this potentially twice a day more often only ounce.

I have an alt for that so I don't spiral from the worldnews communities

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

I have a lot of stuff blocked on here for my own health otherwise that spiral says “hello!”

Subscribed/Scaled, mixed with occasionally keeping an eye on Local/New (as I'm on a small instance).

I never ever touch /all.

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Local, Active. Though it doesn't actually change much between local and all, I don't know why I go with local so much

[–] dontsayaword@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

All, top 6 hours

[–] rimu@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

I'm surprised this is not more popular.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

I usually use subscribed and local, but I have notifications enabled for a bunch of feeds so I get new threads from those communities.

Note: I am on Piefed which has more options here.

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Using Jerboa, and browsing all by new (firehose style)

[–] nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same but Voyager, and I block all of the communities I'm not interested in.

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Yep, this is the way. It's a very pleasant experience.

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Boost and ALL, via Piefed

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

All hot or all active depending on whether or not I feel like arguing

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 1 points 2 months ago

Usually all by hot, new sometimes. I like seeing what the different communities have to offer. I switch to subscribed if I need a break from politics.

[–] g8phcon2@k.fe.derate.me 1 points 2 months ago

@mudkip@lemdro.id from mbin with NEW. I don't follow enough content for anything else to be particularly necessary.

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

All + Active and Subscriptions + Scaled

[–] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

RSS feeds and then Ironfox or Jerboa depending on whether I want to use Firefox addons.

Sometimes Lemmy posts even appear inconstently in hashtag RSS feeds on Mastodon and its forks. It seems like it should be entirely possible for there to be cross-posting to Lemmy by @ing a community, but it isn't consistent, and sometimes a bug occurs where if person B replies to person A and person C replies to B, A won't see C's comment.

Ideally I would just like to interact with this community through microblogging. This is what app the apps and forks e.g. mbin miss. The platforms should be the same
