All, but I keep blocking communities I don't have interest in.
Oh my god I wish I could just "block all Japanese cartoon communities"
Fucksake guys
For real. So much moe stuff posted that I actually learned what it means... Started posting this in every post before blocking the community.
This is my preferred method as well.
It would be so much easier if instance blocking was working for me, I have had to block any lammynsfw community manually when they show up, despite having added lemmynsfw.com to the block list...
Same, I used to also do this on reddit with boost but once third party apps were banned I quit reddit. I saw some really gruesome stuff in r/all though...
Subscribed, and then All when I've seen all the Subscribed posts
This is the way. Also, sorted by new.
Subs first, then All. The only reason I browse All is because I'm all caught up with my subs and there's nothing else to consume but All.
New or by 1 hour.
I dont sign up for communities. Just throw it all at me. I want an unfiltered and unadulterated view as to whatever the capitol C community is into.
You're a psychopath!
I do a subscribed run, then i go into all. Since i sort by "Top Twelve hours" i only have one or two pages of subscribed
All because I like seeing more than just what I subscribe to.
How else would I see a bunch of news article headlines that I'll never read the actual article of but still make a comment on purely based on the article headline? /s
Reading this is like looking in a mirror
I usually start with subscribed, and when I run out of new content I switch to all and it reminds me why I prefer to stick with subscribed as a default.
Same. But I block communities on all regularly.
It's better for discovery, just casually browse and just block the communities that you don't like. Much better for discovery.
All. When I don't like a certain community I block them.
All. Throw it all at me. Gork needs content.
I use subscribed first and then once I have looked at the new things under my subscribed feed I switch to all and top either today or top in past 12 hours
Edit: In fact, all top today is how I found this post to begin with. Otherwise, I would not have seen it.
Subscribed, because all is way too depressing.
Seriously, there's way too many doomers on Lemmy that just want everyone to be miserable
Subscribed.
If I view all, all I get is a bunch of repetitive news posts and a whooole lotta pro russia stuff. Im just here for the memes and video games.
All 6h for the win
Same! Will do a single 12h view first thing in the morning, but other than that 6h hits the sweet spot
Always subscribed, otherwise it's just memes and political shit flooding my feed.
I switch between all, new and top past 6 hours.
Top Six Hours Gang represent.
I am still relatively new to Lemmy, so I view New All so I can catch any new communities that I want to subscribe to. Once my list get sufficiently diverse I will switch to New Subscribed.
I do a little bit of both.
I'm only subscribed to about 10 small communities, where it's stuff that I love but the communities are small enough that they don't really reach my all feed.
And the way I browse all is that I'm always blocking communities that really don't interest me so over time I only see stuff I like.
All, then block communities I. Which I have no interest.
6 months ago it was essential, because there was t a great deal of content. I don’t know if I’d do it if I was joining today.
I start with subscribed, once caught up i switch to all. I have an account on a small niche instance that i switch to and read local for a bit too.
im a kbinner but basically same. I do subscribed new since its pretty currated and I keep up with it and then if I have time all hot and finally all new if I have loads of time.
Subscribed, definitely.
Way easier than playing whack-a-mole with the block button.
The real question is hot or top?
Scaled
Subscribed only for me. I can't imagine the amount of politics, drama, porn and other stuff that's on the all feed which I don't want to see.
I'd like to thank all the "all browsers" that see something they don't like on "all", but ignore it and move on with their life.
For whenever reason there's people out there that browse by "all", but downvote stuff they don't like. And then make huge ranty posts about how Lemmy is full of toxicity, furry porn, politics, anime or whatever.
Surprisingly less porn than you'd imagine. Though I go a different way, I browse all (because of FOMO) but block communities that post stuff I don't want to see. Now I have a very tailored all feed that also includes new stuff I might not have known about to subscribe to.
Yep, I do this as well. It's like subscriptions plus surprises.
This is the way to go. I encourage everyone to block users too. Lots of them. It really does affect your experience of the site. I sometimes scroll thru the comments of some controversial topic only to find the most extreme commentors that bring nothing of a value to the conversation just so that I can pre-emptively block them. I'd say that 3 times out of 4 when I log out to see a comment that a blocked user wrote I just find that I did the right decision.
My default view is moderated, and after I've checked the nwew stuff there I switch to all.
All. My subscribed communities aren't all that active currently, or it's just daily posts by me in the communities I moderate.
Yes
Both, I'll flip into All if the updates are coming slow on my sub feed
All top 12 hour. Subscriptions? Never heard of her.
Subscribed.
I look for interesting communities on lemmyverse.net rather than browsing "All".
always All. it's how i find new communities. it would prob be good if i start subscribing to more of the communities that i like though.
atm i'm just relying on the collective views of the threadiverse to feed me content.
All, but I block porn
Usually just all sorted by new
Subscribed. Being bombarded with global politics all day isn't good for anyone's state of mind.
it does depend. if i'm picking fights, i view comments by new in my subs. if i'm trying to mindlessly scroll, i view all.
Both. That's what I like about it. If I viewed all on Reddit it could be boring but Lemmy is interesting both ways.
Subs.
Subscribed and every so often I search for new communities to follow
Both. If I'm looking at subscribed, usually I'll sort by New. If it's All, I'll go by Active or Hot.
All. I crave volume.
It really is a numbers game. And we've got premium numbers for premium prices.
All top 6 hours or subscribed scaled.
All. If I scroll too far and the blurry thumbnails appear more frequently, I know I need to stop scrolling for that day.
Subscribed first then all if I want to see what else is there.
I start with subscribed sorted by new. After that, I flick over the scaled subscribed, and then I go to scaled all
I doomscroll all till I realise it's not my subscribed feed.
Subscribed + scaled. But occasionally I switch to All + scaled to check if there is something new in trend.
Subscribed and if I want more after that then I go check all too but that basically means subscribed + memes as I have blocked around 400 communities that I'm not interested about.
Usually All. I started that way to find more communities to sub but then got in the habit. Even with a healthy list of subs I still feel a bit limited on subscribed, see more activity on all.
First Subscribed sorted by new, the all by Top X.
Local New first, once that is exhausted I view All New.
I view all, sorted by Newest Comment and then sort the comments by New. I really only subscribe to things to get them federated with my instance (so many communities on other instances, I am literally the only one on my own instance subscribed to them so they don't show up on my feed at all before I find them) and to be able to quickly see a specific community by itself, if I so desire.
Subscribed, then specific communities by url (since sometimes smaller community posts don't show up on the frontpage), then All if I'm really bored.
All - Top - 6 Hours
If I'm feeling cheeky I'll browse hot or sometimes even Scaled
Subscribed, although there isn't much content so I'm trying to find posts on other places.
Both.
All. I find new communities all the time!
Both, subsribed on new und all on active
