Sounds like your subscribed to some toxic communities. I dont have that problem at all
I'm generally looking at all, so maybe that's my problem. I am finding it hard to find smaller communities that might interest me, but maybe it's the app I'm using (Jerboa).
Any recommendations? Either specific communities or tips for finding some?
Get on lemmyverse.net, search for your interests, build your subscription feed. Stop looking at All, and if you do insist on doing it at least block the communities that are making you mad.
A strategy that has worked for me: very quickly browsing all new, just looking at community names. I barely look at the posts, just make a quick decision if it sounds interesting to me. I’ll check the sidebar and decide from there to subscribe or not. I’ve found dozens to follow and a bunch to block lol. It’s cleaning up my feed pretty nicely and my home page has a lot of content now.
Open up jerboa + your browser,
On the browser, visit: https://browse.feddit.de/
Search for the subjects/communities that you are interested in.
Long press (mobile) on the title and select open in app.
The jerboa app will load the community and you can subscribe.
I agree that All has changed. I was browsing this morning and made the same comment before realizing I wasn't looking at my subscribed feed.
I host my own instance so My all is my subscribed and vice versa
