I block all politics.

Lemmy.zip has implemented Default Blocks so that new joiners have politics communities hidden from their All feed: https://lemmy.zip/post/33065677

I do think it would be nice if there was a way for community mods to choose to combine two communities across instances,

If they are willing to cooperate that far, they could as well merge the communities

Nice explanations and schemas, such as this one

Probably that SJW needed some help?

I personally don’t really know of any content posted by a bot that I want to see).

Some communities use bots to schedule recurrent posts. Those can be useful, and mostly provide a feature we’ll hopefully see built-in the platform in the future

You can have a look at !linux4noobs@programming.dev

Have a look at this post, we had a similar discussion there: https://lemmy.world/post/3074361

Long story short, the platform still needs a bit of work before being able to really move communities. Some examples exist (lemdro.id, piracy, startrek) but those are tech savvy audiences, there would be a lot more friction with more generalist communities

Sorry for this, feel free to block all of the communities related to the topics. That should allow smaller ones to come to your feed.

Pictures, food, movies communities are rising, there is hope

Lemmy.world holding such a prevalent place in the Lemmy/Kbin part of the Fediverse makes it a major single point of failure.

They should still be the newcomers instance, but communities and users should migrate to other instances to increase the resilience of the Fediverse.
