So, how do you deal with communities that don’t interest you? I personally block them, because I don’t like them popping up on my All feed, but at the same time I don’t want to switch to Subscribed because a new interesting community might pop up.
What’s your strategy?
I only browse by subscribed. Part of the reason I stopped browsing reddit is they won’t stop showing me content I didn’t sub.
I browse all because I don’t really know what communities are out there that I might be interested in.
There’s also some communities where I might not like the content very often but there’s a few hidden gems.
Exactly. You’ll never know what you miss out on when always browsing communities you’re already subscribed to. Of course there’s also some trash on the frontpage.
I feel like percentage wise there’s a lot less than on Reddit. Plus new communities are always being creating and I like staying in the loop
Maybe because I only used Apollo and occasionally old.reddit.com but I never experienced that, thank goodness.
That would drive me nuts…
It’s definitely because Apollo. It was never a problem in RIF, only in the official app once 3PAs were killed.

You could browse only your subscriptions on reddit, too.
The algo on the official app inserts other content even so. It was never a problem on RIF.
Maybe, I never used that. It didn’t do that on the normal desktop version of the webside. Not sure what a RIF is.
