Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content (feddit.org)

Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

Really? I have like 15 meme communities blocked, and there are comparably very few niche communities.

Blocked? Why? If you don't want to see them why are you subscribed to them?

I mean if you want niche communities you create them and subscribe to them right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

I just see them in the Everything feed, and if I don't block them, they seem to dominate. I'm not actually against them, but I don't want my feed to be all memes.

Browsing the global/all feed is one way to find new communities, and some people just like using it in general rather than defaulting to a subs-only view.

Seems like a not so good way to me, and thats why people are complaining.

You can just look through the communities and sub to good ones.

Maybe it would be helpful to use ALL with scaled sorting. It boosts smaller communities.

I gave up using all on reddit a very long time ago, and Lemmy is basically the same.... But at least on Lemmy you have scaled sorting to try and help.

Or just…browse all and then block communities you don’t want to see. Most stuff I block is furry shit. Nothing against it, I just don’t want to see it.

For what it's worth I generally agree with you, and especially think the people who treat /all as their own personal feed are nuts, but nonetheless it's something that some people do 🫠

Everyone has their own preferences about how to use things!

I usually doomscroll all. on reddit, i used to sub to subs, but on lemmy, because it's quite small, I just use all.
