Stop using “All” “Hot/Active/Top” feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to “Subscribed”.

It’s about subbing to anything in your wheel house and sorting by new. That’s the only way it made since before the migration and still does. At some point it wont make much sense, but not quite yet.

For me that is not necessarily the case. Over the last week or so, I have been using sites like Lemmy Explorer and Lemmy Community-Browser to find communities that have my interest. I have also been browsing ‘all’ using the ‘new’ sort option and have been finding many new interesting communities that way.

In a way this is the opposite of what you’re asking, but this is kind of the reason I set up https://lemmit.online - To allow people to get quality content like !itookapicture@lemmit.online automatically onto Lemmy.

Anyone can request subs to be synced, and admittedly, not all of those requests make sense, since it doesn’t sync comments. But the goal is to bootstrap content creation / combat people returning to reddit because they miss content there.
