I didn't need to block communities when I first started lemmy, but then predictably became necessary as time passed so went block crazy and now feed is easier again to try and find intersting communities when browsing all over news agregators.

    That's the thing though, I do want to know about the topics and events, they're important and have huge consequences. But previously I was relying on nice things from communities I enjoy hearing from to space the more painful content out.

    I have learnt that nice content requires a lot more activity if it stands a chance against the sheer volume of news created. But I also know there are lots of people here who have nice content to share that would benefit us all.

    I used to, but I've switched entirely over the RSS after years of relying on places like reddit for news. It's still the same news sources, but I noticed now seeing all the articles released that day how much stuff is cherry picked to submit that has the best chance of gaining traction due to alarmist headlines. So seeing a lot more of the headlines without the community algorithm that determines what is shown.

    Why do people block communities instead of using the subscribed feed? It feels like too much work. Did people really browse /r/all or the front page of reddit that much? That sounds like a nightmare. No wonder people complained about the mass of low effort posts. You're subjecting yourself to them.

    People are trying to find new communities to subscribe to. New has been a good way to find them.

    As for Reddit that's what amazing browser extensions like RES and third party browsers like RiF were for to filter out content by blocking subs, keywords, urls, and flairs, which made /r/all a pretty pleasant experience over default.
