You don’t have one for “Longtime lurker who used reddit for their daily dose of catching-up-with-the-world but found that the r/all was increasingly showing reality tv discussion subs that they had no interest in”.
Yeah, they finally just killed r/all completely, which is why I’m here. I fucking hate how reddit became this corporate cesspool. It used to be just a regular cesspool with some content I liked.
Same for me. I browse this stuff for fun, and Reddit just stopped being any fun. I do not want some “curated” experience, where algorithm tries to feed me stupid sport news, if I refuse to sell my soul to the corporate shits.
It’s been three years so I can’t remember, but does reddit not have a way to block certain subs from r/all (at a user level)?
A key part of shaping your lemmy experience is that you can just block any community you aren’t interested in, while still getting the benefits of an All feed.
I used to rarely, if ever, actually log in to my reddit account. Reddit used to have a good set of defaults and I had a list of my favourites in my head. Then I started using RES to block some of the subreddits I did not want to see. Eventually, it got so bad that maintaining the RES blocklist became a hassle.
Lemmy has much better defaults and this time I’m actually making an effort to engage with people.

It’s still up on old reddit

Ah right, RES, plus all the apps had their own options. Man, I bit killing third party apps really cut the features for people.
