I know this is on everyones minds, but talking the same shit over and over again isn't going to make new users stay on Lemmy.

I get it. I do. It's getting boring, but hear me out...you need to craft your Lemmy.

I still haven't finished subbing to every community that interests me because there are so many to look at, but they don't make reddit posts in the communities I'm subscribed to, !catbeanbags for example. Once you've selected communities you want to see, change your username's settings to only show you your subscribed communities. You can skip this step, but you may forget to switch to subscribed from local or all when you log on. Then enjoy your feed and if it turns out you don't care for a community after all, unsub (like I'm doing to General Discussion--bye everybody).

It's fantastic, IMHO.

Have fun. It's your Lemmy. Do whatcha want with it.
