Oh, and before you feel singled out, I browse All on lemmy, and have a gigantic block list of communities and entire instances, I really should get a new lemmy account that is set up with proper subscriptions and do it that way instead…

all+fat blocklist is how i used to use reddit back in the day. I didn’t want to see every niche thing all the time but if i was on a subbed only feed i’d miss the niche stuff that hit r/all so i figured it was better to block stuff i never wanted to see so i could be surprised by things i wouldn’t have thought to subscribe to
