All frontpage is filled with memes and shitpost, again are you saying that this is what most people want to see?
I mean, I don't know how I can be clearer than I was in the above comment:
The All feed will reflect what people want to post, as it all shows up there (well, all the stuff in communities that at least one user on your home instance subscribes to).
It will have everything that people are posting on any communities that any single user on your home instance subscribes to. This means that the proportion of traffic on All will generally reflect what people want to post.
There are some social media websites that try to profile you based on your viewing or commenting habits or other such things and then do recommendations of content. Some of these, like Twitter, have caught flak for recommending content that someone is likely to engage with, which causes them to tend to recommend ragebait material.
But regardless of the merits of one recommendation system or another, mander.xyz is running Lemmy. Lemmy doesn't, in 2026, have some sort of system to profile you, try to predict what posts you want to see, and then show you only that. Maybe it should and someone should write that, but today, it gives you three choices:
-
You can view All, which is all of the posts in any community that anyone on your home instance has subscribed to.
-
You can view Local, which is all of the posts in communities on your home instance alone. Unless you are only interested in using the Threadiverse for highly-specialized content and on a home instance dedicated to that content, this probably isn't what you want.
-
You can view Subscribed, which is all of the posts in any community that you personally have subscribed to.
What I'm saying is that it is very likely that the third option is going to very probably provide you with a higher proportion of content that you want to see. "All" will probably never reflect what you in particular are most-interested in. It's maybe a way to help expose new users to a sampling of what's out there, reduce the barrier to start them using the Threadiverse, but you're probably going to want a Subscribed list tailored to your interests.
But what I can say with utter certainty is that people who are posting memes will not stop posting memes because you don't want to see as many memes in your feed, and All is going to reflect what people post. Getting upset about what people are posting and then complaining about that won't solve your problem. Writing a recommendation system to profile users and provide recommended feeds for Threadiverse servers might, if you can code, but I'm guessing that the most-practical solution is going to be just doing a set of communities tailored to your interests, and then browsing Subscribed.
