I was thinking I would like to block the avalanche of low effort memes.

Is this possible? I'm super new, just made my account this week.

Yes, you (and anyone else) can block it for themselves.

Blocking communities you don't want to see our interact with is a native feature of Lemmy.

It's a left-leanig LGBTIQ+-inclusive shitposting community.
It migrated from Reddit r/196, tho I think the memes there were better.

Personally, I like it ๐Ÿ’–

I like it, too but there must be so many more posts there than any other community bc it is almost the only thing on my timeline.

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Yes, i think it's just the most popular community on this instance.

!196 first moved to lemmy. ml, but people

  1. Don't want to associate with the tankies there, and
  2. Really (myself included) like BLร…HAJ, as it's become an LGBTIQ+ symbol,

so they migrated the community here (and Tumblr #196).

The more people participate (read: comment & post), the more diverse the topics here will become ๐Ÿ’ฌ

PS: You can always block entire communities, if you don't want to see them anymore.

I did feel like I had to block 196 just to get a useful local view. I think there's still lots of room for wider spread lgbtq communities here and I want to be able to see those as they rise.

Yeah, you just need to go to the community's page and click the "Block community" button on the sidebar

Thank you so much! I found it.

As someone who has contributed to that "avalanche of low-effort memes"...

...yeah good choice honestly.

tbh I wouldn't read local/all timelines at all unless when explicitly wanting random everything, the subscribed timeline is what reddit home was

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

That's true, but with Lemmy being new (or at least a lot of its instances, communities, and users are), local and all can be helpful for discovering communities to subscribe to.

thanks for this!
