All, but I keep blocking communities I don't have interest in.

[–] Mr_Blott 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god I wish I could just "block all Japanese cartoon communities"

Fucksake guys

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

For real. So much moe stuff posted that I actually learned what it means... Started posting this in every post before blocking the community.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is my preferred method as well.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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...

[–] joostjakob 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Connect can just blur or not show any NSFW post, if that helps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I am on Memmy and it does blur NSFW posts, but I don't want to risk opening any NSFW post at work or with family so I just block any NSFW community that I see

Subscribed, and then All when I've seen all the Subscribed posts

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This is the way. Also, sorted by new.

[–] AgentGrimstone 27 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] TropicalDingdong 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

You're a psychopath!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Feathercrown 3 points 8 months ago

Reading this is like looking in a mirror

[–] waz 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] brygphilomena 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same. But I block communities on all regularly.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

All. When I don't like a certain community I block them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

All. Throw it all at me. Gork needs content.

[–] Nacktmull 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Subscribed, because all is way too depressing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Seriously, there's way too many doomers on Lemmy that just want everyone to be miserable

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Same! Will do a single 12h view first thing in the morning, but other than that 6h hits the sweet spot

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] Asudox 8 points 8 months ago

Always subscribed, otherwise it's just memes and political shit flooding my feed.

[–] ohlaph 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I switch between all, new and top past 6 hours.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] doublejay1999 6 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne 5 points 8 months ago

Subscribed, definitely.

Way easier than playing whack-a-mole with the block button.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] surewhynotlem 4 points 8 months ago

Yep, I do this as well. It's like subscriptions plus surprises.

The real question is hot or top?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

All top 12 hour. Subscriptions? Never heard of her.

[–] lazycouchpotato 4 points 8 months ago

All. My subscribed communities aren't all that active currently, or it's just daily posts by me in the communities I moderate.

[–] Iceblade02 4 points 8 months ago

My default view is moderated, and after I've checked the nwew stuff there I switch to all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Both, I'll flip into All if the updates are coming slow on my sub feed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Subscribed.

I look for interesting communities on lemmyverse.net rather than browsing "All".

https://lemmyverse.net/communities

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

All top 6 hours or subscribed scaled.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Subscribed first then all if I want to see what else is there.

[–] hakunawazo 3 points 8 months ago

All. If I scroll too far and the blurry thumbnails appear more frequently, I know I need to stop scrolling for that day.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 3 points 8 months ago

Both. That's what I like about it. If I viewed all on Reddit it could be boring but Lemmy is interesting both ways.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Both. If I'm looking at subscribed, usually I'll sort by New. If it's All, I'll go by Active or Hot.
