Subscribed. Being bombarded with global politics all day isn't good for anyone's state of mind.

MODERATORS
Subscribed, and when I soon run out of content I switch to all.
I dislike Reddit as much as anyone here but god do I miss the sheer amount of content.
All top 6 hours or subscribed scaled.
I do a little bit of both.
I'm only subscribed to about 10 small communities, where it's stuff that I love but the communities are small enough that they don't really reach my all feed.
And the way I browse all is that I'm always blocking communities that really don't interest me so over time I only see stuff I like.
My default view is moderated, and after I've checked the nwew stuff there I switch to all.
Both. That's what I like about it. If I viewed all on Reddit it could be boring but Lemmy is interesting both ways.
I switch between all, new and top past 6 hours.
Top Six Hours Gang represent.
it does depend. if i'm picking fights, i view comments by new in my subs. if i'm trying to mindlessly scroll, i view all.
Subs.
Usually just all sorted by new
Subscribed and every so often I search for new communities to follow
All. If I scroll too far and the blurry thumbnails appear more frequently, I know I need to stop scrolling for that day.
I usually start with subscribed, and when I run out of new content I switch to all and it reminds me why I prefer to stick with subscribed as a default.
Same. But I block communities on all regularly.
It's better for discovery, just casually browse and just block the communities that you don't like. Much better for discovery.
All, same reasons as others, not enough active communities with my specific interests, the all feed is good though :)
That's how I used reddit too for many years, took a long time to curate subs, I hope a similar thing can come about in Lemmy
All. My subscribed communities aren't all that active currently, or it's just daily posts by me in the communities I moderate.
All because I like seeing more than just what I subscribe to.
How else would I see a bunch of news article headlines that I'll never read the actual article of but still make a comment on purely based on the article headline? /s
Reading this is like looking in a mirror
I doomscroll all till I realise it's not my subscribed feed.
Subscribed, because all is way too depressing.
Seriously, there's way too many doomers on Lemmy that just want everyone to be miserable
I do a subscribed run, then i go into all. Since i sort by "Top Twelve hours" i only have one or two pages of subscribed
Subscribed and if I want more after that then I go check all too but that basically means subscribed + memes as I have blocked around 400 communities that I'm not interested about.
Subscribed, definitely.
Way easier than playing whack-a-mole with the block button.
The real question is hot or top?
Scaled
All. When I don't like a certain community I block them.
I use subscribed first and then once I have looked at the new things under my subscribed feed I switch to all and top either today or top in past 12 hours
Edit: In fact, all top today is how I found this post to begin with. Otherwise, I would not have seen it.
All.
All top 12 hour. Subscriptions? Never heard of her.
Usually All. I started that way to find more communities to sub but then got in the habit. Even with a healthy list of subs I still feel a bit limited on subscribed, see more activity on all.
Subscribed only for me. I can't imagine the amount of politics, drama, porn and other stuff that's on the all feed which I don't want to see.
I'd like to thank all the "all browsers" that see something they don't like on "all", but ignore it and move on with their life.
For whenever reason there's people out there that browse by "all", but downvote stuff they don't like. And then make huge ranty posts about how Lemmy is full of toxicity, furry porn, politics, anime or whatever.
Surprisingly less porn than you'd imagine. Though I go a different way, I browse all (because of FOMO) but block communities that post stuff I don't want to see. Now I have a very tailored all feed that also includes new stuff I might not have known about to subscribe to.
This is the way to go. I encourage everyone to block users too. Lots of them. It really does affect your experience of the site. I sometimes scroll thru the comments of some controversial topic only to find the most extreme commentors that bring nothing of a value to the conversation just so that I can pre-emptively block them. I'd say that 3 times out of 4 when I log out to see a comment that a blocked user wrote I just find that I did the right decision.
Yep, I do this as well. It's like subscriptions plus surprises.
I've curated enough active communities to just browse Home every few hours. But if I'm curious, I browse All on occasion.
Both are set to Rising, and All excludes all subscribed communities.
Yes
Subs first, then All. The only reason I browse All is because I'm all caught up with my subs and there's nothing else to consume but All.
Both, subsribed on new und all on active
always All. it's how i find new communities. it would prob be good if i start subscribing to more of the communities that i like though.
atm i'm just relying on the collective views of the threadiverse to feed me content.
All. I find new communities all the time!
