How do you deal with communities that don't interest you? (lemmings.world)

So, how do you deal with communities that don't interest you? I personally block them, because I don't like them popping up on my All feed, but at the same time I don't want to switch to Subscribed because a new interesting community might pop up.

What's your strategy?

I use the trendingcommunities community to find new stuff. I rarely browse by all

Or just read the trending communities box at the top of the screen whenever you reload the page. I've added several new communities due to seeing something there.

I'm not sure how your experience has worked, but every time I clicked on one of the trending communities, it was always an empty feed.

Did they fix the algorithm, or have I just been incredibly unlucky?

That's really weird, every one I've clicked on went to a live community. I'm using the regular web page, if you're using an app maybe that is broken?
