Subscribe to the communities you like, then switch to “Subscribed” view, just like on Reddit. The front page is what it is, an honest /r/all – on Reddit it was mostly porn, and after some retooling mostly low-effort meme subs. But that’s exactly what “Subscribed” is there for!!

At least you’re not advocating to harshly monitor/ban/disallow community creation, like some others already did, basically treating the whole instance like an uber-strict subreddit of its own.

Instead, it’s easy: Subscribe. Then switch to Subscribed. If you want more communities, look at a list, or switch to All again.

also don’t block other instances too much! I mean as long as they are bot servers that threaten the health of the network, then you have to get rid of them of course. but way too many people are getting their panties in a bunch about content they don’t like, and immediately resort to the nuclear option of defederation, which is actually hurting the network and effectively splitting the user base. all these things should be blocked on a user level (by blocking specific communities, not whole instances!).

you’re saying that as if it’s a bad thing! especially as long as they just develop and stay out of pushing certain content, then I couldn’t care less. now if they were tankies on the other hand, that I would mind!

Stähle deinen Verstand, Junge!

Das ist eine vergebliche Hoffnung, glaub ich. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass Lemmy wieder so Spaß macht wie Reddit früher und überhaupt das Internet vor Web 2.0, dann ist es wenigstens gut investierte Zeit.

this is the kind of US-centric topic I don’t want to see on main. a tragic story, yes, but not relevant to the instance, lemmy, or the fediverse as a whole, sorry.

PWA? haven’t heard of that one before, I swear there’s two new apps every day!

which, by your argument, is also fine. let them be the safe space, and whoever doesn’t want that, well just create an alt account literally anywhere else. it’s not worth fussing over imho.
