Just block the subs. Or subscribe to communities that interest you and stick to your subscribed feed.

If anyones looking for chill communities to sub to, here’s a fat ol list https://lemmy.world/post/16327122

There’s uh, lots more than 2. It’s similar to how there’s English English and Nigerian English, just dialectical differences - some more major than others.

My absolute favourite is when your password is too long but they don’t tell you that, I guess because they weren’t expecting it. It only causes a hitch when you later try to login and it doesn’t let you …

It’s also worth ensuring you have at least both “Undetermined” and “English” selected as your languages in your settings.

I find Lemmy isn’t super at pushing newer content at the top, and you have to just mix between the different sorts. The content is definitely there. The alternative way to mitigate this is as follows:

• In my settings I have “show read posts” unticked. This ensues posts I interact with (e.g click on, vote on) with disappear from my feed afterwards (upon refresh/reload, of course). I don’t think it clears posts that have appeared in your feed but you haven’t interacted with. This is extremely effective in keeping your feed fresh.
• When browsing on my phone (Boost For Lemmy), I make frequent use of its “hide all read” button to quickly gut anything on my feed that I’ve seen before (no interaction needed).
• You can, of course, just manually hide posts as you go but uh, the above methods are better at automating that process for you.

I used to get really annoyed with stale feeds but upon doing the above it’s pretty much always fresh content.

That said, it won’t hurt to subscribe to more communities!

In the UK we had to be told explicitly not to move before or after the bell rang, until the teacher said we were allowed to (which usually wasn’t long after to be fair). Wed all been conditioned by American movies were they just get up immediately to leave, lol

Lol people have been “ditching” Firefox for various reasons for years. If you can barely get people to ditch Chrome, good luck with making some ff fork relevant.

One of the mobile apps has this feature, might be summit or connect. but otherwise no.

If all you need is a plank then a plank suffices

young padawan, the first lesson you ever learn on the internet is never admit your age until it no longer matters

Yes, but its maintaining support for these extentions… for now at least.

Yup. Reality. No point using a hyper secure chat system if literally nobody you know is using it.
