    And that’s all cool… But it is weird to take that choice away from users.

    Much like here, a quick browse of all introduces me to a wider world with different concerns. It’s how I find stuff.

    And I’m pretty sure what you do is possible here… What are you having a problem with?

      I can’t figure out how to unsub from the Lemmy version of r/all. So I’m getting latestagecapitalism, politics, politicalmemes, various communist instances. 80% of what’s on my page is politics. I’m not interested in that.
