I like discovering new communities, but I getcha.
I use https://lemmyverse.net/communities for that.
Ideally I shouldn't have to use an external tool. I don't want to have to cut over to an external tool every single day in hopes that I accidentally discover a new community I want, and then hop over back to the actual lemmy.world. Never underestimate the importance of convenience.
But it seems very inconvenient to see all the stuff you're not interested in.
Do you know what an "unknown unknown" is? How am I supposed to get interested in new communities if I don't know they exist?
I guess in the same way as with subscribing to a RSS feed or E-Mail Newsletter.
Are you aware that "All" is only a small part of the fediverse which someone else on your server subscribed to already? There are still many other unknown unknowns which you will never find via "All". You have to find a way to find those anyway.
I understand looking at "All" now and then to see what others on the server are subscribing to, but it won't find all unknown unknowns.
edit: Therefor doing all the work in blocking things seems to me like unnecessary work if you only seldom go to "All" while relying on "Subscribed" for the normal functionality.
https://lemmyverse.net/communities lets you set your home instance, so you literally click on the community in the list there and it loads you up on the page where you can subscribe.
You people are pissing me off by constantly saying the same things. I don't know what I'll be interested in until I see posts. Lemmyverse.net isn't going to help me there. And since there's new communities popping up all the time, I'd have to keep going to Lemmyverse.net like every other day. I don't want to do that.
All I want to do is hide the things I know I won't be interested in. Like how it seems there's a community for every sports team in the damn US.
Either way, it's not a big deal. My only frustration is that people keep trying to suggest non-solutions.
you people are pissing me off
Dude, it's two people. Lmao
It's an artifact of the protocol. Because different lemmy instances exist and only federate here when someone from this instance subscribes you either need an instance that doesn't block any federations and make that your home instance so the ALL designation actually encompasses all of your unknown unknowns or just settle for the ones people from this instance federate with. Either way, I think defaulting your language through settings is the easiest way to block the foreign languages content. The sports content is trickier to block because if you had like a browser plugin that just hides posts/communities with 'Sports' or 'Teams' in their titles you'd have the side effect of blocking non-sports related content (at least with the 'teams' one). I haven't done any research personally into whether there are instances that have incorporated this as a feature or if anyone's made a plugin like that though. Hope you find a solution!
Oh very cool, I didn't know about the home instance, that is very convinient!
I'd like to block entire instances like the ones where I can't read the language, but I can only block individual communities. Nothing against other languages, and I could stand to expand my scope from 3 languages, but seeing 6 posts flood my feed in a language I can't even identify is a bit uncomfortable
You can do that in your user settings:
Do you have the languages you know selected in your user settings page? There's a panel on the left side where you can click on the entries. After clicking on the first one, you can hold Ctrl for subsequent clicks to make multiple selections before saving your changes.
I did not know you could do that! Thank you!
I had to filter them all out one by one on Reddit, and I’ll do it again on Lemmy.
