Some instances and groups are very chatty (*gestures to /lemmyshitposts), so much so that they dominate the All page.
I knew that there would be a point that browsing /all would no longer be a pleasant or feasible experience, but I quite liked having a pulse on what everyone in the #threadiverse (that kbin.social federates to, anyway) are thinking. But right now it seems @memes is dominating everything.
I don’t want to fully block them from showing up in my feed, but i don’t want to let them full send either. Would it be feasible to add a feature in future releases to be able to adjust the algorhythm on the user-side that would allow for mutes, or deranking it in your feed, instead of outright blocking it?
I was just getting ready to post something like this as well. We need a way to put a ‘slow-mode’ on certain communities. I don’t want to block them entirely because I enjoy them too, but at this point /all is literally all shitposts and memes. Even scrolling way down (infinite scroll) it’s all memes all the way down.
I want to be able to discover other communities and engage and grow them, but we just can’t see any of them with all the memes.
I’ve been sorting by new and active for this, but agree with your sentiment
I’ve just blocked all memes communities for now. It was funny the first few times but it got old real quick.
Perhaps it would be possible to make the all feed collapse posts that fall under the same community? Something like “x posted on somemagazine, with y other posts today” which would just link to the community?
I do agree that the memes have been fun but also it’s kind of dominated my feed lately – I’ve had to stick to /sub
It would be nice to be able to have a “Favorite communities” feed where we can go to see a set of communities we’re subscribed to but like better than other subscriptions. Favorites leads to threads we’ve upvoted (on Kbin), though, so we’d need another name.
But that way you can be subscribed to the busy community, but still see the less busy communities on a feed.
We could use the Reddit approach to Hot (in Reddit’s equivalent to /sub):
- Show the hottest post
- Show the hottest post that isn’t in a magazine from which a post was already shown
- Repeat step 2 until we’ve reached a minimum level of hotness
- Show the rest in order of hotness regardless of which magazine they came from
Ideally you’d replace Step 4 with something that recursively applies steps 1-3 to what’s left over, but since Reddit doesn’t do that, I assume it would be too computationally expensive.
My naive guess to how Reddit does it would be that they do two SQL commands that look something like this
WITH CTE AS (
SELECT *
,row_number() OVER(PARTITION BY magazine ORDER BY heat) AS row_num
FROM posts
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE row_num = 1
ORDER BY heat;
followed by
SELECT *
FROM posts
WHERE id<> $IDs_of_previous_request
ORDER BY heat;
