Comment on we need more users
qualia@lemmy.world 6 days agoI don’t like how broad Lemmy assumes default interests are, though then again showing everyone the average interests may statistically be the best initialization point.
Every time I’m shown a community I’m totally uninterested I make sure to go in and block it from my feed. Likewise with aggressive or otherwise pathological users. It gets better.

Lemmy doesn’t assume anything. Sorting is done by votes or activity from all communities, and it’s up to the user to make curated feeds by subscribing.
I don’t know precisely how Reddit works now, but it used to be like that too. It just had the quirk of “defaulting” to a few select subs in “hot,” instead of “all” like most Lemmy/Piefed instances do.
