    Or just switch your default timeline to “subscribed”

    “All” was always terrible on reddit, that hasn’t changed here.

      imo there isn’t enough content on Lemmy to only whitelist certain communities. I prefer to just block the extra stuff I don’t want. All is fine if you take out most the low effort communities. I only have 10 or so communities blocked and it makes a noticeable difference. Much easier than subscribing to a bunch of communities for me.

        The relative lack of content on Lemmy, for me, has been a boon. I go through New, then Top 6 Hours, then Top 12 Hours, then I need to find something else to do. When I was on Reddit, I found myself bouncing between Reddit and YouTube for entertainment. With Lemmy not having boundless amounts of crap to scroll through and no algorithm, my tech usage is far more varied.

        There is for me. And (almost) nothing I subscribe to are those non-low-effort communities.

        I also don’t doom scroll for hours at a time, so maybe that’s partly why.
