How to make subscribed feed more diversed? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi guys, I'm on lemmy since the reddit api announcement and am subscribed to tens of communities. When I'm setting my feed to watch topics only from Subscribed communities (hot/active), I see a lot of topics from the same communities, like 10 topics in a row from 1 community then 3 from a different one and again from the first one. My point is that I want to get diversed topic from all subscribed communities ( I know there are new and hot topics there) and not seeing repeated communities only. Is there a way to make some communities show less topics or make the feed more diverse (other than I subscribe to the loud ones) ?

I consume my Subscribed feed first.
When I have seen enough there but still want more, I go to the All feed.
With good luck, I find new communities and subscribe to those. That improves my Subscribed feed, see step 1.
with bad luck, I find a lot of crap in the All feed. When I notice recurring annoying communities, I go to their sidebar and block them. That improves my All feed, see step 2.
