Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It's not a criticism of you specifically. It's just that this thread gets made very frequently by many different people, and I've yet to really get any kind of answer.

I ask this same question each time. I really do want to know where people come from that this route sounds like a reasonable and efficient way to approach the user experience. To me it just sounds like a whole lot of work that'll never end, because people will keep making new communities.

Lemmy is new. I don't inherently know what communities I want to subscribe to. How do I stumble across them without using all?

All is solid. What I don't understand is putting in a ton of work to curate the all into something good. That's what the other feed is for. lol

No, not really. lol I mean yeah, life has a lot of work in it, but life doesn't have an optional "all" feed. Fortunately. That'd be even worse than a reddit all feed.

edit: I mean, even 4chan doesn't have an all feed.
