The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.

If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don't click the red bar!

But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.

!newcomers@piefed.zip for a specific community also devoted to new users to the Fediverse.

You are subscribed to a lot of communities via the topic chooser (you must have clicked all or most of the topics). Go to your settings: https://piefed.social/user/settings, click "Profile" and scroll down to "Unsubscribe from Everything".

But I don't want to unsubscribe from everything. Just to stop seeing them that I'm not subscribed to.

Okay I am confused here. What feed are you looking at on the frontpage: "Subscribed", "Local," "Popular" or "All"?

[–] rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ah! Thank you! Bloody "all" was chosen.
Seriously confusing why I had German communities showing up.

You might be interested in choosing your language(s) in the settings. By default none are selected, meaning that all languages will be displayed.

You'd miss out on some great German memes though.

Oh that's a good point! Thanks!

RIP German meme culturization

You can change the default feed in settings btw.
