how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.
they … don’t
that’s kinda the problem. i wanted to show lemmy to somebody today, and at first glance they found it nice, but the content is a bit … toxic. i think there should be a custom listing scheme (the thing where you see “subscribed, local, all”). it should provide custom listings that are maybe per-topic or sth (i’m not sure how this would work yet) and you can easily select “no politics pls” listing.
Welcome to Lemmy, we have:
I carved out my own little bubble of interesting communities on “subbed” and don’t venture outside into the wastes of doomscrolling anymore!
Honestly have no idea how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.

Piefed has custom listings actually like this for example!
In general, I would not suggest Lemmy in general but instead certain instances with presentable local feeds (blahaj zone, mander xyz).
That’s a good thought, actually!
