Find communities you want to see on here and subscribe to them. If you just go through home feed then it's mainly politics and tech news.

Use the 'scaled' sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.

Ignore people who start screaming insults about instances which are not their own.

Couldn't imagine being mad someone is using lemmy the way they want. Isn't that the point of the fediverse? For us all to make it our own?

If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.

I use voyager app, unsure about other apps or website, but check if your able to easily block users. Instances and communities, I usually scroll through the all free and block things I just can't stand and are heavily just annoying, also has a ability to filter out keyword. Makes my browsing less depressing.

Don't know what that's supposed to do when you hit the waves, but every little bit helps.

They lure you in with their neat thematic icons and ordered structure, but they're all MANIACS there! Every last one of them!
