Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

yeah, it doesn't make sense to complain, but browsing ALL and blocking what you never wanna see again leaves you with lots of neat stuff you wouldn't have found sticking to your subscribed communities.
however, i wish lemmy had categories/tags for communities, so people could block or specificly browse everything anime or everything sports etc. it would be quite helpful.
This is what Im doing for now, also trying to subscribe to a bunch of stuff.
But Im newbhear and still browse reddit some as I figure all this out.
Now if only my favorite twitter followers would switch to mastadon...
Welcome here!
Tickle them until they agree to switch to Mastodon! Mwa ha ha ha!
Oh yeah, I can totally dig that, I had the trending communities at my subbed communities though, although I don't see it popping up as often as it used to.
I like Summit for Lemmy a lot because it let me create multi communities, so far I have one for gaming, one for retrogaming and other for handheld gaming, sadly Lemmy ain't reddit yet (only the first two are fairly active).
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Lemmy needs customized feeds. You create a feed, You call it "Nintendo". Then you create another catagory, "subscribed". Then you open the subscribed catagory, and uncheck all the communities you're subscribed to that relate to Nintendo.
Then you open Nintendo, and uncheck all, then recheck all communities that DO relate to Nintendo.
Now, if Nintendo has their direct, and it's 11am because Japan isn't in the same time zone as America, so you're at work......you can browse "Subscribed" without being spoiled on the direct. Then, AFTER you get home, and watch the direct, you can browse by Subscribed + Nintendo, and you'll see all your communities. Or browese by Nintendo, and ONLY see Nintendo communities that you're subscribed to.
Now do that for every catagory you subscribe to.
You could browse by Nintendo + Pro Wrestling. Now you're seeing a custom feed of JUST Nintendo related communities, and JUST Pro Wrestling communities mixed together in one feed. But you wouldn't see your news communties, or your photography communities, or your porn communities.
But if you browse by all, you should have 2 options, All-All, and All-Local. Which should both be self explainitory. But browsing by All, you shouldn't get the right to complain that somethng exists. You can block it, and never see it again, but that doesn't mean someone else won't make a similiar community, and you can't complain. Things exist. Deal with it.
But we do need some more elaborate subscribe based feeds.
Multi communities are going to arrive thanks to a recent funding: https://lemmy.world/post/19692354?scrollToComments=true
