How to diversify my feed?
-
i've noticed that a lot of the content on my lemmy feed seems to be centered around lgbtq+ topics, which I'm not really interested in. i'm not looking to debate or criticize anyone's identity, but I'd like to see a broader range of topics that align more with my preferences. i'm already subscribed to those instances but somehow that sort of content keeps on creeping in.
is lemmy as a platform particularly focused on lgbtq+ or is my feed just skewed for some reason?
are there specific instances or settings I should check out to balance things out. thanks for any advice!
Lemmy has good science and tech communities. Have a browse around mander and dbz0

I like to peruse all and just block anything I have no interest in. People get wiereded about blocking but subscribing is functionally the same as blocking everything you did not subscribe to. I would love something like wiki foundations trust cafe as part of the federation where you can assign a 0 to 100 value for things but in the meantime figure if your really into something you subscribe (100) and if you don't care about it all block (0) and everything else is basically then a 50.

Go on all and blacklist instead of going on subscribe and whitelisting.

Block what you don't want to see. I block all the straight porn on here that somehow makes it into All. And yes Lemmy has a large amount of lgbt users.
Also it is pride season so you'll see more queer stuff than normal.
Is there a mature filter that you've got turned off? I have never seen anything lewd on All!

Try blocking individual users who post undesirable content - it’s working well for me with all political bs

And block those you do not want to see if you use all.
I really wish lemmy had a mute option in addition to block. There are both users and communities I do not want to see posts from, but if I see comments (from users) and visit certain communities that is okay.
Some users seem to post every single news article they happen upon, most time I think without reading any of them. I tend to avoid all of their posts, a mute button would be fantastic.
Worst is when they copy the click bait title, so the comments are full of people raging about something like "Lemmy now has a premium cost", without realizing it's bull shit.

There's a setting in the user profile to block/not block stuff tagged nsfw

What people don't want to know is that you need to block as many communities and people as you possibly can in your first couple days here.
This place is jackass city, let's get that straight.

Use the All feed, and block what you don't like.

Voyager on Android. I subscribe to as much as I could find that I was interested in. These show in "Home" feed.
I look through the "All" feed to see whats going on & subscribe to anything relevant, then switch back to "Home" for my individual feed.
Amirite?
