That'd be great. Currently 90% of my feed is /c/memes and while I do find them entertaining, I also miss a ton of posts from smaller communities related to my hobbies that I would engage with more.
It's also preventing smaller subs from being discovered and growing.
Seems there's a PR for a "best" sorting option, which sorts by the top post from each sub, and then the second place post from each sub, and so on.
Sounds perfect.
I haven't looked at the PR, but if it's really that simple, that doesn't seem like the full solution. I don't particularly want a sub with 10 users popping up on the front page after 3 upvotes just because it got to the top of that sub. Sub weight, as mentioned in the top comment here, should probably be taken in to account.
That's honestly exactly what I would want.
Then don't subscribe to that 10 person sub?
Doesn’t stop them from showing up via All and Local, which is what I want to do without having the completely block these communities. Just my preference.
I blocked meme, shitposting and 196.
All is nicer now.
I liked some of the memes but they were too many
Best solution I’ve found is to block all of that on the main account and just switch over to another account if you feel like seeing the memes.
Yeah, I had to leave memes because it was my whole feed. I feel like one of lemmy's biggest potential selling points would be a scriptable feed. There are some small communities I want to see every post in, and other huge ones that I only want to see maybe the top 5 from.
I've unfollowed /c/memes for exactly this reason. Not that I don't like them, but I wanna see "literally anything else"
I blocked that community because it dominated every feed.
Yeah it would be really great to be able to make a temporary filter, like I'd love to be able to have my homepage without any content from Memes without having to unsubscribe
I finally created my lemmy account specifically so that I could browse lemmy.ml again without seeing memes all over the home page!
