Scaled with Subscribed, then liberally subscribe to any and all communities I think I might be interested in. Check the Scaled + All firehose once in a while and subscribe to new communities if anything new shows up.
Comment on How should Lemmy sort posts so small communities can compete?

Try “Scaled,” it is better.

I’ve just tried it out on “All” and basically the entire first page is filled with one user’s posts to !visualarts@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Hm

Yeah, maybe so. I think you may have to do it to “Subscribed” only, and then sometimes cut out one specific community or other that it is over-promoting. I mean, it’s doing what it’s supposed to do, promoting small communities, but I think sometimes it maybe gets carried away.

Maybe the size of the community should be determined based on posts per month instead of the number of active users

Imo that's as much a problem of the sorting algorithm as it is with a single community blasting out too many posts at once without any consideration for how current frontends are unable to usefully integrate that into people's feeds. A couple of years ago nanoUFO was being a bit (subjectively) overenthusiastic about posting - I counted and !games had 40 posts at once from them and it made the first couple pages of my feed basically unusable for a while.
