I'd love to browse "all" but so far my experience has just been a slew of porn, languages I don't speak, and other stuff I have zero interest in seeing in my lemmy-based doomscrolling.

None of it is anything I think beehaw should defderate from. It's not wrong or against beehaw's standards. But for my idle time, it's just noise that gets in the way of finding anything else interesting.

I did some googling and it looks like this sort of thing is being looked at for lemmy as a whole, but I was hoping someone may have a trick to do it without the lemmy system supporting it directly.

On desktop, I could easily add a userscript to remove the instance domains, but not so much on mobile apps.

Am I alone in this frustration?

I have noticed the same thing but I kinda don't mind. It's like a restart from reddit, so we have to follow the evolution of the platform. Although I gave to say amongst the slew of porn and low effort posts, there is some good stuff on tech at the very least.

I think my big irritation is that it's super distracting to keep hitting block on the seemingly infinite supply of communities on lemmynsfw ;D

But it's also annoying that none of the apps (lemmy pwa included) actively clear the feed of your newly blocked user/community.

I enjoy scrolling All to find new and interesting things, and that's how I built my sub list on the oldsite. It's just frustratingly difficult to filter signal from noise at the moment.
