I used to do that, though now on PieFed I use a combination of Notifications sent for very low-volume communities, categories of communities, and feeds, and these days almost never browse by New anymore. I very much prefer it this way bc of how things are organized - e.g. I can unsubscribe from most politics communities, and then whenever I want it, it is all still immediately accessible in that category. So I can have my cake and still eat it too! 🤤🎂
