    Use the ‘scaled’ sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.

    I found that using All to subscribe to things I like and over time using my subscribed list works.

    You can also block communities you don’t want to see and view All by default.

    Don’t get them wet, and don’t feed them after midnight.

    No, wait. I’m confusing Lemmy with Gremlins. Nevermind.

    Find communities you want to see on here and subscribe to them. If you just go through home feed then it’s mainly politics and tech news.

    If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.

      BTW, do you know why are there so many forks of Greasemonkey? What happened to the parent project?

      Scoop some into a cup and let it melt first, then you can safely drink it 🙂

    Read a community’s rules before posting or commenting. Take this community, for instance:

    1. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below

    Each Lemmy instance also has its own site-wide rules.

      Why does this rule exist?

        Since there are other communities more fit for these kinds of questions

        Because other more specific communities exist for that.

    Honestly, I’d just suggest engaging with any topic you enjoy. Comment, find communities you’re interested in, maybe even start your own.

    Welcome! Lemmy is a great place.

    I use voyager app, unsure about other apps or website, but check if your able to easily block users. Instances and communities, I usually scroll through the all free and block things I just can’t stand and are heavily just annoying, also has a ability to filter out keyword. Makes my browsing less depressing.
