Why YSK: Doing so can change your feed and experience drastically.
I typically sort by local/all: active, where I see a mixture of memes, news, and discussions. But I switched to all: hot, and I was shocked by just how homogeneous my feed became. It was pretty much entirely memes and computer discussion. Obviously this isn’t always the case. But, I could see someone who always sorts by hot not realizing the diversity of the site.
So, if you’re a little bored with your feed, or just want to see different posts, then try different sorting methods. Even if you’re not, try it anyway. You might like what you find - or you might go back to your default.
There are way too many memes and that weird 196 community on my hot feed
I’ve blocked the communities I don’t want to see on Memmy but they keep showing up
That’s weird, have you tried blocking them from the Web interface so that they will be blocked for you wherever you are?
I tried the lemmy web app and Memmy neither of which Ed worked
I can try in a browser too
The browser should work
Me too then I realized they were duplicate communities on other instances. Just blocked them too and no more.
Ohhhh this could be a game changer then! Ty
