      I’ve personally blocked a lot of furry, nsfw, news bots (they usually have “bot” in the name of the comm or user), and the more toxic communist ones.

      It really doesn’t take a lot of work to curate your feed as you go. Glad to have you here!

        New to both. I created my Lemmy account around the time all the API crap was happening with Reddit. Still getting used to the fediverse. I like the smaller community sizes here. Feels like there’s more room to breathe.

          Ok, good to know. I’m also a new user from the Reddit api BS. Here’s what I know, depending on if you want to see NSFW content or not, find a instance that serves your needs. Be prepared that in the beginning, using the “All” feature, will be the best way to decipher what content you want to see and what you don’t. Block communities you don’t like, subscribe to the ones you do and don’t do either the ones you are on the fence about. Over time, your “Subscribed” filter will be great. It’s a pain in the beginning, but necessary and good since there’s not a algorithm MAKING THESE DECISIONS FOR YOU. I love the fact that I can control what I do see and what I don’t. Switching accounts on Lemmy is very easy to do to keep things organized in case you want an account for NSFW content and one you don’t…you know…for research purposes.

            I agree on being able to control your feed. I’ll keep it on “All” while I work on curating my subscribed communities. Thanks for the tips!

      I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but antiwork and related pages are full of mis/disinformation that is very misleading and dangerous if large groups are swayed by it. The people there are particularly aggressive and savage about it when their ignorance is pointed out in good faith. Again I get it and their hearts are usually in the right place, but I’d recommend steering clear.
