Back when I joined lemmy.ca, the front page was full of bicycles, city/province-specific community posts, and others like woodworking This morning, four or five of the front page posts were making fun of some crazy bikini lady(?). I read their “read this first” post and understand why they’re doing what they’re doing, but is there a way to get our default front page to be a bit more…friendly and community-oriented?
Why not just curate the frontpage feed? I don’t think you can avoid having to do this.
Because the lemmy software doesn’t do a curated feed, and there isn’t one “front page”. There are 57 options for what you see when you first log in, depending on what you chose in your https://lemmy.ca/settings.
Can… can we change that so it does have a curated feed? 57 options isn’t exactly user friendly and it’s not really a solution to OP’s complaint (echoed by others in this thread). Anyone know if the Lemmy devs would accept a patch for something like that?
If you would like to propose it to them or provide the code, they are the admins of Lemmy.ml and here’s the github: https://github.com/LemmyNet
Late answer, but https://quiblr.com/ can be used for a curated feed for Lemmy
