I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)? (lemmy.ml)

Even if we're subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they've managed to overwhelm my feed.

I just prefer sorting options that don't weigh posts. Like New or New Comments. I don't have nearly as many similar posts appearing on the front page sorting by New Comments, and only posts with high levels of discussion stay on the FP.

If you're going to sort by things that count all metrics to determine what's "popular," it's always going to be memes and low effort bullshit.
