currently juggling between active and hot sorts and both seem to return the same crap throughout the day… what sort works best for you?

    I’ve been browsing All -> New

    I’ve been blocking communities or instances I don’t want to see. It took a day or two but now I’m discovering some great communities all the time. As my community list grows, I’ll eventually swap to my subscribed feed.

      I mostly use kbin; how do you block communities or instances in lemmy? I didn’t see an obvious way to do this, but I am often oblivious so that’s not as conclusive as I’d wish it to be, haha

          Oh, that button is (correctly) hidden if you’ve joined the community, haha

          I’ve been using Connect on Android because it supports keyword filters (musk and reddit alone make my feed much more tolerable) and instance blocking. Was using Jerboa since coming over early June but switched the other day when I read someone mentioning its filtering capabilities.

          It’s decent overall, but supreme in eliminating musk spam and lemmynsfw from your All feeds.

        I was able to block instances with Connect. Currently using the Sync for Lemmy internal beta and that functionality hasn’t been added in yet.

        With Connect, it was as simple of clicking on the overflow menu and hitting block community or block instance. Worked like a charm!

          I flip between mobile and desktop too much to rely on any app-specific features. I do have connect but I usually just go to the webpage even on my phone.
