Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I only browse by subscribed. Part of the reason I stopped browsing reddit is they won't stop showing me content I didn't sub.
I browse all because I don't really know what communities are out there that I might be interested in.
There's also some communities where I might not like the content very often but there's a few hidden gems.
Exactly. You'll never know what you miss out on when always browsing communities you're already subscribed to. Of course there's also some trash on the frontpage.
I feel like percentage wise there's a lot less than on Reddit. Plus new communities are always being creating and I like staying in the loop
Maybe because I only used Apollo and occasionally old.reddit.com but I never experienced that, thank goodness.
That would drive me nuts…
It's definitely because Apollo. It was never a problem in RIF, only in the official app once 3PAs were killed.

You could browse only your subscriptions on reddit, too.
The algo on the official app inserts other content even so. It was never a problem on RIF.
Maybe, I never used that. It didn't do that on the normal desktop version of the webside. Not sure what a RIF is.
