I love me a meme or two a day, but I can't sort by "all" anymore. What can I do about that? I already unsubbed from c/memes because otherwise my subscribed filter would be filled as well.

Block c/memes and subscribe to another less active meme community. The memes tend to overflow into the lesser known communities anyway.

I think the algorithm for “all” could use some work. It needs you weigh out the different communities, so “all” not only will show posts from the same few big communities.

Use Memmy, subscribe to subs you like, only view their content? Same reason most of us never viewed All on Reddit, just instead of pure hatred on Reddit we get fun jokes on all

If the solution is "don't use it", then why offer it at all? I liked to discover other communities by viewing All, now it's unusable. Is there no other solution than blocking this community here?

People use it. Especially new users who are feeling a lack of content when joining an instance.

Options are a good thing. You have the ability to sort and change the default view.

Yes but all you get right now is pages of memes without any reasonable content. Which goes back to my original complain.

There's no way to limit the amount a community appears in All. You can block it completely, that's it. Perhaps a way to limit would be good, try bringing it up on the Lemmy GitHub and see. Otherwise, you've got to encourage people to post less, which is no good for Lemmy.
