Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

I want to stress that you are expected to block communities you're not interested in.

There's no content curation between instances (an instance is like a niche mini-reddit, but seamlessly connected to this one), so you will end up with US Politics next to Furry porn, next to Star Trek memes, next to NZ local news, next to sports statistics, next to AI Porn, unless you start blocking.

Upside is you can get great science content, AND local news, AND your favorite porn, AND your brand of shitpost/memes in your feed/subscriptions without any hassle.

So. Much. Furry. Porn.

I e basically gotten to a point where my subscriptions make up such a long list of things I’m even tangentially interested in that I don’t even browse all anymore. I locked so much of the furry porn, but maybe opening all of the communities to block them manually made my feed think I was into it?

Lemmy doesn’t cater the All feed to you like other social media platforms - it doesn’t take into account which posts you open, which posts you upvote, etc.

I'm new here. I never realized how much I've always hated the entire concept of an algorithm until now. This is amazing.
