Request: Favorite communities without subscribing (lemmy.world)

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Some communities will have a deluge of posts, which tend to astroturf the main feed. I loved the feature in Apollo that let us mark a sub as a favorite to make it easy to get to, without subscribing to it and having it hit the main feed.

Yeah yeah we know it's for porn. But I would also like this feature

Not really. For instance, on Apollo, I used it for /r/politics. Huge, extremely active sub that would drown everything else out in the main feed.

So it would be more like a bookmark for collecting communities

It was just to put them at the top of your list of subreddits, being able to favourite subs without subscribing to them was a bonus.

Not the right usage of the term, astroturf.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, but the context of my request is understood, right?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, for sure. I just wanted to mention that. I meant no offense.

No worries. It’s refreshing to have people be polite online…

Thank you for the correction.
