YSK to play around with different sorting methods on your lemmy feed.

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

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

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
