I think a lot of people leave it on All, because they want to see new communities that are popping up as Lemmy grows. However you’re right, people need to start focusing on their subcribed comms for their day to day use and tailor that how they want it.

Subscribed feed + hot sort is the best way to experience Lemmy, I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about this 😅

If people are on one of the larger instances they are probably better off trying Local over All.
TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Nah I disagree, the larger instances should never be the be all and end all. Sure, lots of instances are on lemmy.world, but man key ones are elsewhere.
The whole point of federated social media is that there’s more than one source, having one big source just undermines all that.

I usually just do local for a few different instances. I think all gets too flooded with shit I don’t want to see

Exactly this. For now while lemmy me new my default is All. In some months when things are more established I’ll stick with my Subscribed communities. Things are still new right now.

… Why? I actually want to be on all. I want to know what’s hot in this moment, be it interesting for me or not.

Top 6 hour and 1 hour for Subscribed and Local is what I do. IMO, it works similar to hot and rising on Reddit.

100% inject it into my veins (just kidding I’m straight edge)

Agreed in theory, but Hot sort seems bugged for me :\ The few pages of results are good, but then it starts serving me posts from over a year ago
spacedancer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Top for the past 6 or 12 hours is closer to the reddit front page feed we are accustomed to.

I’m a more of a “New sort” personally, especially when I’m trying to find different communities in All. However, one little feature I’d really like is a domain block, mainly for some of the more bot-driven instances like fanaticus.
I would go in to settings & disable bot post visibility, but there’s some jank in that atm with either bot accounts not indicating they’re bots or that seeming to not be a feature in Kbin, so it wouldn’t address all of those types of accounts/posts.

So far I think only Connect for lemmy has user level instance blocking.
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I honestly think that account has to be a troll
Protip:
Go to the instance admins page and just go thru and block all 20-30 subs they mod.
Each one has its own bot
