I wish Lemmy had the Mastodon functionality to create your own lists of communities. I subscribe to a ton of communities and I have a couple of them which are very low volume but I’m very interested in seeing each and every post there. Right now I have to remember them and go to them specifically once every couple of days to check if there are new posts there. This is because the high volume communities push all the other things down so people don’t see them and don’t vote on them.
In Mastodon I have a #Homies list which is always visible and there I see the posts of people I personally know and want to see each post of them. It’s amazing and easy to implement.
The existence of a way to get around the problem doesn’t mean the problem is solved. If a lot of people want to do this, then it should be easier to do and obvious how to do it
Big agree. I hate that I have to block news communities to get them out of my feed. I never subscribed to them.
