I found out today that they have removed r/all from the mobile platforms.

The one unifying feed... Heaven for it folk experience consensus media or have a shared experience.

By slicing it all up they can tweak individual algorithms to push more jank than ever. No longer do they have to game the system to get AstroTurfed Ads on the front page.

Actually, didn't they used to call themselves the "front page of the internet"? How does that work if no one sees the same page?

I think most people unsubscribe from r/all anyway and subscribe to subs related to their favorite hobbies and games and work related info. Most of my frontpage is for video games I'm currently playing, programs I'm currently using and odd fun subs like moviemistakes or maybemaybemaybe. I wish I could do that here.

And that's all cool... But it is weird to take that choice away from users.

Much like here, a quick browse of all introduces me to a wider world with different concerns. It's how I find stuff.

And I'm pretty sure what you do is possible here... What are you having a problem with?

I can't figure out how to unsub from the Lemmy version of r/all. So I'm getting latestagecapitalism, politics, politicalmemes, various communist instances. 80% of what's on my page is politics. I'm not interested in that.

What client are you using?

On Voyager there is a tab at the top to switch between all and "home". Home is just the subs you subscribe to.

I'm using the website. After what you said, I checked and it has Subscribed/Local/All at the top of the page. That's really nice. I just started using Lemmy so I haven't completely figured it out yet. I use old reddit, so it might be set up the same way as new reddit but I wouldn't have known.

Edit:

What are hidden posts?

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

You can set it to default to the Subscribed feed in your settings.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

You can chose to hide posts.

That might be based on a keyword, for example, "Trump", or based on tages such as NSFW.

You can always chose to see these posts again.

Forgot fuckcars. Not a day goes by that I don't see it.
