Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Serious question, have you considered defaulting to subscribed rather than /all/?

I prefer using all because I'm routinely coming across new communities I'm interested in, never mind I don't want to live in a bubble.

I'm guessing this is a piefed problem (I'm not a user there) but Lemmy.world has been great for me. My suggestion is using lemmy.world and dabbling in piefed. Piefed will need a bit of time I'm assuming.

Actually, this is an alt account I only use occasionally. Main account is on lemmings.world, which is where I experience this.

fwiw on lemmy in Settings I turn off "Show NSFW Content" and "Show Bot Accounts" and that improves things dramatically.

I did the NSFW thing, but not bot accounts because some communities use them to copy content from elsewhere (among other reasons). Maybe I'll give it a try anyway, tho - thx!
