Lemmy really needs something like topics, categories or tags you can opt-in or -out of. There are just too many communities to subscribe one by one and if I browse everything theres so much super boring niche stuff, like some Go library releasing version 0.02-beta. I mean that’s nice for those 5 Go programmers waiting for that, i guess, but they are probably subscribed to it anyway.
I browse an All > New to find communities I like. There’s not really so much content that it’s overwhelming, unlike if you did that with a huge site like reddit.

Even that is better than the massive waves of posts in languages I don’t understand.
I suffer from that in Mastodon because I follow hashtags, but in Lemmy? No way, all I see is English in Everything.
Also I have more than 800 subscribed communities so I have a better understandable feed.
I’ve stuck with sorting by “local” and that seems to work for me. At least on Connect for Lemmy
I am new here and I do not understand how to find the stuff I want to see. So far I blocked a lot of porn, though.
