• Yeah, I would say I’m kind of struggling here. I can’t figure out how to block communities I don’t want to see. I can’t figure out how to find communities I would like to be a part of. Currently my feed is full of stuff like bean memes and foreign languages. Which, said feed doesn’t really seem to move at all.

    It doesn’t have ads though, and I know I’ll eventually get stuff figured out. But currently, I don’t feel like I’m getting much actual use out of it.

      If the feed seems to be stagnant, you could be using the (default in many cases) active sort, which tends to have a lot of the same posts at the top, from what I’ve seen. Switching the sort to hot generally shows more fresh content in my experience. You can block communities on the web version using the red button on the right, in what I think is the sidebar, although that might be hidden on a phone. This site looks to be helpful for finding communities as well.

      • I’ll give the different sorting a try, but I don’t feel like it’s made much of a difference. I’m on mobile, so I’m trying out different apps. Currently have like 4 different ones installed. I can find the block community button in two of them, but clicking it does nothing.

        My guess is this is just growing pains issues. I do appreciate the site recommendation.
