I curate the communities I follow to only be nice, hobby-related things, so when I've had enough of the all feed, there's plenty to see without the horror stories.

That's true it's probably just the all feed I'll just hop .... Nope apparently my home feed is depressing AF

Same, I also block communities that consistently show up on my all-feed with negative content. I'd rather miss an interesting post than see negative stuff regularly. There's enough stuff to be depressed about, and those 5 minute pocket-lemmy breaks add up. If all those moments were to be consistently negative, I'm sure it'd do a number on my mental health in the long run.

I used to do that with Reddit too… followed would be stuff I really personally want to see and I’d check All if I didn’t get enough.

I think one of the problems here is just a litany of cross posts.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
