Often it is downvoted

Also, can we please agree that is really poor netiquette to downvote posts that you are not subscribing to? If you are not subscribed to a community, you should have no saying whether the content is relevant to the community or not.

Instead of downvoting, hide posts you don’t want the content on your feed or report it if it actually improper content. Downvoting things just because you saw it on all is hostile af.

No. Some communities I don’t want to see regularly, but I know how the community works.

  And your solution to that is browsing by /all?

    I think it’s a habit carried over from reddit’s algo, which would rank communities you downvote as less likely to be shown to you. People don’t really understand how the /all algo works on lemmy (which as I understand it is just the most recently interacted things on the network, blatted out of a hose?)

    It is 100% a bad habit inherited from Reddit, and this is one of the many reasons that I wish Fediverse developers stopped trying to emulate the closed platforms and started using ActivityPub as a powerful social graph which can be shared by a single client.

    Huh, I browse Subscribed regularly, All I don’t? When a post doesn’t belong in a community I know (ie regardless of subscription status) I vote down.

    You took my comment way too literally, then. What I am asking is for people that browse by /all to stop downvoting everything they see, as if there were trying to train some algorithm.

I meant my request to mark the community as NSFW is being downvoted, which I understand.

I downvote the post only if the mod just removes my request, which I think is mod abuse.

  Then block the community, report to the admin if the community is not respecting the instance rules and carry on with your day. Downvoting is just some passive-aggressive way of expressing your disapproval for the tastes/interests of the community members.

    You’ll find that admin == mod == post OP in a lot of these cases

    One more reason to just block the community or even the instance.
