    I love the idea of the decentralized services, but trying to browse global all is a nightmare. Even browsing local all I have a ton of communities blocked and add more every day. The only downside is when communities I like migrate to a different instance. I still try global all once every few months, but it never lasts long.

      Subscribed should definitely be the main feed for most people, that’s the best way to get a curated feed.

      Getting multiple personal feeds would also help.

        Discoverability is my biggest issue with the subscribed feed. If I’m using subscribed, I’m not finding new communities. Curating a set of base communities that I want to see does seem like it would be worth the effort, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

          On Lemmy I browse Subscribed until I run out of new posts. Then I switch to All and look for communities to add. Over time I’ve been spending more and more time on Subscribed, as my list grows.

          This post is about Mastodon, I haven’t been able to figure that place out yet.
