I think most people unsubscribe from r/all anyway and subscribe to subs related to their favorite hobbies and games and work related info. Most of my frontpage is for video games I'm currently playing, programs I'm currently using and odd fun subs like moviemistakes or maybemaybemaybe. I wish I could do that here.

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.

Forgot fuckcars. Not a day goes by that I don't see it.

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.
