    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?
