Guess I need some hints for good subs.

Filter by "All" or "Local", not by "Subscribed" and subscribe to those that are good

Good advice, but last time I sort by "All new" it gaves me mental illnes.
- Tbh doing the same on Reddit does the same thing. Only there's a ton more of it which somehow makes it worse.
- "All new" is ludicrous. "All Active/Hot" to find communities, once you're subscribed, "Subscribed New" is fine.
  Imo lemmy's Active is rddit's Hot and lemmy's Hot is Rising but that's just my impression
- You can block that here. If you want.
- Yeah pretty much, you need to do some heavy blocking for All to be usable, I wish there was an All (filtered) mode, like Subscribed but in reverse. With Subscribed you see nothing except what you want to see, with All (filtered) you would see everything except what you don't.

Once you finish: "I can see why Lemmy's user base is dwindling".

Goodbye, fairweather Lemmings

POV: You were using Lemmy in june

Been on lemmy for three years and I've never really lacked for content though.

My default was Active, but I've switched to Hot for All.

More new things but not a lot of comments. Kind of nice to get in on the ground floor for those wanting to comment though...

I prefer Scaled over Hot as it gives boost to smaller communities making it more fair.
- Scaled? Is that an instance-specific thing you have? I don't have it on mine.

Lemmy is, like, reverse reddit. You don't subscribe to things, you block everything you don't like. That way "all" becomes "subscribed" but bottomless and let's you still discover new instances. You'll know you're getting somewhere when your blocked list starts looking like this.
