how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.
they … don’t
that’s kinda the problem. i wanted to show lemmy to somebody today, and at first glance they found it nice, but the content is a bit … toxic. i think there should be a custom listing scheme (the thing where you see “subscribed, local, all”). it should provide custom listings that are maybe per-topic or sth (i’m not sure how this would work yet) and you can easily select “no politics pls” listing.
For me personally, the local feed on blahaj.zone works great and gives me exactly what I want. So I recommend finding an instance that fits your interests more.
i wish lemmy had custom listings (by topic or by language or whatever) so you’re not confined to the “local” stuff from your local instance or having to subscribe to every single community that you maybe find interesting manually.
so there’d be not only “subscribed, local, all” but sth like “subscribed, local, cute stuff from other instances, all”
My feelings about Lemmy lately. This sub is fine, but I really should stop browsing “local” or “all” or all the general meme subs …
Welcome to Lemmy, we have:
I carved out my own little bubble of interesting communities on “subbed” and don’t venture outside into the wastes of doomscrolling anymore!
Honestly have no idea how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.

Piefed has custom listings actually like this for example!
In general, I would not suggest Lemmy in general but instead certain instances with presentable local feeds (blahaj zone, mander xyz).
That’s a good thought, actually!
