Is there a way to derank certain magazines on user side? Something between full blocking and full allowing a magazine? (kbin.social)

Some instances and groups are very chatty (*gestures to /lemmyshitposts), so much so that they dominate the All page.

I knew that there would be a point that browsing /all would no longer be a pleasant or feasible experience, but I quite liked having a pulse on what everyone in the #threadiverse (that kbin.social federates to, anyway) are thinking. But right now it seems @memes is dominating everything.

I don't want to fully block them from showing up in my feed, but i don't want to let them full send either. Would it be feasible to add a feature in future releases to be able to adjust the algorhythm on the user-side that would allow for mutes, or deranking it in your feed, instead of outright blocking it?

I was just getting ready to post something like this as well. We need a way to put a 'slow-mode' on certain communities. I don't want to block them entirely because I enjoy them too, but at this point /all is literally all shitposts and memes. Even scrolling way down (infinite scroll) it's all memes all the way down.

I want to be able to discover other communities and engage and grow them, but we just can't see any of them with all the memes.

I've been sorting by new and active for this, but agree with your sentiment

This is what I've been doing too. Sorting by new is pretty cool.

In Mastodon (I guess I use the official app, if there is one) there is a way, in my settings, to slow down the deluge of posts in the Federated Tineline feed. Maybe this would work for kbin?
