    You don’t have one for “Longtime lurker who used reddit for their daily dose of catching-up-with-the-world but found that the r/all was increasingly showing reality tv discussion subs that they had no interest in”.

      Yeah, they finally just killed r/all completely, which is why I’m here. I fucking hate how reddit became this corporate cesspool. It used to be just a regular cesspool with some content I liked.

      It’s been three years so I can’t remember, but does reddit not have a way to block certain subs from r/all (at a user level)?

      A key part of shaping your lemmy experience is that you can just block any community you aren’t interested in, while still getting the benefits of an All feed.

        I used to rarely, if ever, actually log in to my reddit account. Reddit used to have a good set of defaults and I had a list of my favourites in my head. Then I started using RES to block some of the subreddits I did not want to see. Eventually, it got so bad that maintaining the RES blocklist became a hassle. Lemmy has much better defaults and this time I’m actually making an effort to engage with people.
