      I don’t think that the Austin or Texas communities are useful as communities. Do you mind if I delete them?

      Are there other feeds from your OPML that you would really like to have in Lemmy?

        I don’t mind at all. I messaged you on Matrix about this but I already unsubscribed due to the large quantity of posts and lack of any participants, meaning they just overwhelmed my timeline and were no different from my RSS reader.

        I think participation might be a problem with the relatively small size of Lemmy userbase, as well as the very poor sorting algorithms. I’ve seen 3 month old posts, and posts with hundreds of downvotes at the top of my feed fairly often. So I’m afraid it may never be what I hoped.

        The only advice I can give to improve the experience is to cherry-pick some publishers who only post valuable content, and not terribly often.

        I can cherry-pick some good tech publications to make a tech community (it’s FOSS, The Verge, AlternativeTo, Jeff Geerling, etc.) . Or some good fedi publishers to make a fedi community (Mastodon, Ghost, etc.) Or a self-hosting community (NASCompares, HexOS, Selfh.st, etc.)

        I may just have to send them to you individually because I don’t know how to pick and choose feeds to export.
