Not that I know of.
My method is to not browse All. Instead, search and subscribe to lots of interesting communities and then browse by Subscribed.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

i use all from time to time as a discovery method
You can also subscribe to [email protected] to see trending communities. Following the links to see the posts in the communities would be more discriminate.
Isn't the the point of browsing 'all' to get everything, by definition?
Well, all communities that people on your instance have subscribed to. But the comment your replied to didn’t say it wasn’t, right? They use it to discover new communities to subscribe to.
I havn't seen any crypto or hedge fund groups trying to get people to buy stupid stocks like on reddit yet. That is a plus.
Let me tell you about LemmyCoin™️ bro!!!
I've seen a few. Blocked them now but they're out there. One of the biggest disappointments with reddit was all the good investment subreddits getting overrun and ruined. They're filled with people buying into blatant pump and dump or ponzi scheme crypto shit echo chambering buy X. It's just pure garbage.
On Sync you can block whole instances. I found that very helpful.
How?
Easy, tap the 3 dots on a post and select filter. Then select the instance. Or
Awesome, thank you
I wish there was something like RES where you hover the community name in the list item and it pops up a frame you can choose Block on.
If you use alexandrite, there's a dropdown on every post where you can block the community
that is exactly what I'm looking for.
If it were to happen, it would be in [email protected]
There are already a few useful scripts there (including a very early LemmyTools). We'll get there
What I do, is go to All, sort by whatever you normally sort by, and every time you see a community that you don't want to see, click the 3 dots and block it. At least that's how it works on the Jerboa app, sure there's an equivalent option in whatever you use. After a few days my feel cleared up a lot. I personally think that it's best if people do this vs defederation, but that's just my opinion.
If you use the Sync app you can filter out communities you don't want appearing in your feed.
In the Voyager app, I can long press on the community name on a post, directly from browsing in All, and select block from a pop up. It’s super quick and easy. Same pop up also has the option to subscribe.
In Memmy, go to the community, under the menu is an option to Block Community. It's kind of an endless game of whack-a-mole. My all feed has improved, but every day there's a few more I have to block. I like to check All occasionally to get of my bubble but it's a bit of a mess.
Not that Reddit's All feed is any good right now, which is at its absolute lowest quality I've seen in over a decade. Resembles instagram more than what used to be Reddit.
If you use the "Liftoff" app, there is a shortcut for blocking the community straight from a post in the feed. I think this makes that action easier in Liftoff than in most other apps.
