Right now, for some of us at least, it’s kind of early days for watching subs only, my feed is kind of slow without being on All, and it helps me discover new communities.
This is exactly why I’m almost exclusively on All right now. If I only browsed my subscribed feed it would be, like you said, mostly dead.
I’m also using this as an opportunity to expand my horizons by trying communities I may not have seen or given a chance to on Reddit. It’s nice because overall Lemmy is a much nicer place to comment, so far, and I find myself being more willing to put my thoughts out there.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
You people are using the local/all feed?
Am I the only one who exclusively uses the subscription function?
i mostly switch between subsribed and all depending on if i saw everything new in the other location and refreshed the page
It doesn’t matter if you’re subscribed to [email protected] (and [email protected] for good measure).
Block list is huge. Blocking whole instances is fantastic. Had to block so much gross fetish porn and tankie/fashie communities.
