Many newbs are washing up here, myself included. What are good ways to get the most out of Lemmy? (Using Jerboa)

There isn’t an algorithm, so I guess we need to self filter and manage a good sub list.

At first glance I’m guessing, use the “all” feed. Block communities that are irrelevant, sub to interests and leave the undecided ones alone. Repeat on different sort options, Repeat for specific hosts.

What are your tricks for finding interesting content and building a sub list.

    Repeat for specific hosts.

    also don’t be afraid to do the same for specific users: if you see the same user in more than one of your communities, good chance they’re in some other communities up your alley too. i don’t think you can usually view another person’s subscriptions, but you can at least find adjacent communities they’ve posted in by viewing their profile.
