I like programming.dev and what's happening on my "local" instance, but once i check of what's happening in the wild (other instances) I am reluctant to recommend lemmy to others. - eviltoast

Programming.dev is nice a community and overall i like the content I get when i stay on my local instance.

The moment i am switching to “all” everything becomes extremely left leaning and too politicised for my taste.

Is there a way to block all the communist/anarchist/anti-capitalist stuff, or this is Lemmy in general?

    With boost on reddit I would just block any subreddits that I felt was just noise. Any American centered subreddits (mostly politics), NSFW subreddits (back when those showed up in r/all), niche meme stuff like that deep fried stuff, etc… You could also block keywords like “elon” and “trump”. It actually made r/all a decent experience to browse through.

    If it isn’t already a feature on lemmy, hopefully it will soon. I much prefer letting the user do the filtering than the nuclear option that is defederating. Boost for lemmy is also on the way so I expect that to be an option once the app launches.
