Many newbs are washing up here, myself included. What are good ways to get the most out of Lemmy? (Using Jerboa)

There isn't an algorithm, so I guess we need to self filter and manage a good sub list.

At first glance I'm guessing, use the "all" feed. Block communities that are irrelevant, sub to interests and leave the undecided ones alone. Repeat on different sort options, Repeat for specific hosts.

What are your tricks for finding interesting content and building a sub list.

Yes, thanks, I am aware you can check out an external community from a local view. I'm just kind of venting that you can't do it from the other way around from a user experience standpoint (See community linked on the internet -> check out the content on-page -> tell that page you'd like to hear more from it on your home instance), even though I'm aware it would probably be very hard or annoying to pull off as your browser would have to be somehow aware of your logged-on instances in a way other instances are also built to support.
