Today is my second cake day on lemmy!
There are exciting things on the horizon the rapid innovation of piefed, the addition of lemvotes, the amazing tesseract, the useful lemmy-federate, the comfort of voyager… lemmy has lots of promise.
Over these two years I’ve found some recurring characters here that I enjoy seeing, kinda a small town vibe - I like that.
This is a great place to be!
What do you like about lemmy?
Absolutely : Setting block keywords, blocking communities you don’t like is critical for having a good lemmy experience. Drinking from the firehose of everyones interest can both be overwhelming and monotonous sometimes.
I’ve removed all politics, all memes, all internet drama from my feed and I don’t think I could go back.
From that, I guess you’re browsing by “All”?
My approach was different: I browse by “Subscribed”, and I’m subbed to ~200 comms. It takes a bit more effort but it allows me to have finer control over what I see, for example I subbed to one or two political and memes comms - it’s just enough to get myself informed, but not enough to flood my feed.
Before lemmy-federate you couldn’t get a community to your instance unless someone subscribed to it, so I was subscribing to everything… and my subscriptions wasn’t curating my experience.
My community block list is MASSIVE, heh.
Ah, got it - I didn’t realise you’re running a personal instance. Now it makes sense what you’re doing.
