It’s small enough that just browsing all will actually show you all.
Also big enough for that to be a somewhat unhealthy amount of content to keep up with.
My intended point is that browsing all is a viable way to find communities. You won’t miss many communities if you browse everything. Then subscribe to what you like, block what you really dislike.
You’re right that all can be overwhelming and distasteful, but at least it really is everything, as opposed to the r/all, which was heavily filtered.
Keep up with? Just browse some posts on /all while popping, then go live a life.
Pimple popping, my favorite thing to do while browsing lemmy
Well yeah, but to say browsing all will actually let you see everything is a bit of an exaggeration if that’s what you do.
Like I said. It’s possible, but probably not something anyone should actually be doing.
Depends which instance you’re on!
Ah yes.
I suppose if your instance isn’t federated with everyone, that would be an issue.
I don’t think it’s just federation, I believe for posts to appear in your instance’s All feed then at least someone on that instance needs to be subscribed to the associated community
It might end up showing all the communities but it won’t show you every post. Like F1 posts rarely end up in all despite having an active community. You’re more likely to see posts from formuladank than formula 1.
Browse /all, sort by new, you’ll see every post your Lemmy instance is aware of.
I usually sort All by top 12 or 6, depending on how recently I last checked. That’s how I keep up with the general chatter. And I refresh my subscriptions by new once in a while to take part in the topics I enjoy as they emerge.
/all, top of last 12 hours has been my go-to
Also, mods are petty and will delete or ban you if you make a comment that goes against their agenda. Even when the comment has nothing but up votes.
The other day I got banned from A Boring Dystopia@Lemmy.world for providing verifiable historical context to the bombing of the MOVE cult. Not for taking a stance on either side of the issue, but just for fighting misinformation in the comments. I had like a 40 to 13 upvote ratio on a comment as long as a page, but the mod wants to marginalize and radicalize people so they deleted everything I posted in the thread.
Ironically, quite a boring dystopia indeed.
Did they remove the comment first or just ban you so the comment isn’t on the mod log?
The latter is one of the biggest flaws on Lemmy I’ve seen so far.
Just banned. They did delete one other comment, first, further down in the thread.
When you ban someone if you check the box to remove content it doesn’t add it to the mod log and that drives me nuts.
My last comment was in “comics” and was 9-0. I didn’t agree with the “message” if the comic. Guessing the mod was the artist, maybe. Lol
TBH I just stick to the feed and block the communities I don’t want to see. Especially avoid anything on Hexbear or lemmy ml, those instances are CCP propoganda trying to convince the west to off each other and themselves.
Same here. Everything, sorted by scaled, and I block communities that annoy me. Or entire instances, but so far that’s just been hexbear
Welcome! There’s a lot of actually good content on here if you avoid Hexbear and lemmy.ml.
I go back and anonymously browse Reddit sometimes and it feels plastic.
Conversely, if you want less cheap comments like this one you should not.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world is all you need to know

Lemmy is a lot smaller than reddit so its more acceptable to post niche content in more generic communities. That being said I really like
Welcome to Lemmy!
Happy to be here! I’ve had this account since the Great Migration of 2023, but I was slow to actually leave Reddit because the dumpster fire was too enticing. Thanks for the recommendations.
The fun hole link seems to be dead
It should be !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org
thanks
Yea it totally broke my Eternity client and I had to kill it and restart.
Most niche communities from R*ddit are pretty much dead here unless you are looking forward to being a regular poster yourself. This rather requires sticking to the lemmy.world open feed rather than creating a custom feed with your communities only, if you are looking to scroll a lot instead, of course. Just stick around a bit, see how often what communities and people reach the general feed, elect to block the ones that feel flooding your feed or not to your taste. Maybe give some regularly-posted communities that are previously not in your area of interest some chance before going on a mass block. This place does have a quality and rather genuine people, but in a limited scope.
Sadly, Lemmy is too small to have many active niche communities of its own, so as already said your best bet is just viewing all.
Alongside this, viewing specific instances can give you a slightly more curated experience than just all of Lemmy.
When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.
Just browse all tbh
Hope to see you in !tenforward@lemmy.world
The non misogynistic ones. Good luck finding those. welcome to Reddit circa 2005 before hating women was considered not ok.
Freeze peaches? Was that a voice to text typo of free speech or is it some meme I’m unaware of lmao.
It’s a take on how hate speech gets defended as ‘Muh free speech’. It became a meme on shitredditsays.
196 and only 196.
Welcome back! Depends on what you like, there’s a good chunk of communities now. Just make sure to keep expectations in check, we’re not Reddit, a good community here has a couple of posts a day and dozens, not thousands of comments. Your post here I’d say is doing pretty well.
We’re still growing, slowly, but you’re proof that people are growing tired of corporate social media.
Yeah, I couldn’t sleep last night, so I was looking around here for a while. I think browsing all might be good enough for now. I’m also really digging the smaller size; it seems to allow all posts made in good faith to get decent engagement. On Reddit, the early downvote I got on this post would have been a death sentence for responses, but now I’ve got lots to go off of here
Yeah we don’t have the post counts to ignore one just because it got down voted once ! There are many posts that come back from the dead.
And I say this to everyone, you’re already doing it’d be the change you want to see. If there’s a niche community with no posts, start posting. People will gather to it.
