I use lemmy like twitter, like reddit 15 years ago : I view everything, then block communities I’m not interested in.
Lemmy is still small enough to that without too much garbage- especially if you like a broad range of content,
The only chore was blocking tons of anime

Oh my god do I know this pain. It takes forever.
I made the switch a few days ago too and I’m already loving it. The people saying sort by all and subscribe/block as needed are on the money, really easy to curate a selection of good stuff. Content and engagement is more organic here it seems.
I’m about to delete the rest of my social media and jump on mastodon/pixelfed/peer tube etc. good luck and welcome to the federation!
Just go to communities and select all… go shopping!

Try the Lemmyverse community search and use whatever keywords you are interested in. Subscribe to a bunch of communities and see if that brings interesting stuff to your front page. If you notice you’re seeing uninteresting stuff from certain communities, unsubscribe to those and keep on refining.
Also, if you’re interested in unexpected factorials, here’s the community for you.
It’s still pretty small and quiet, but anyone is welcome to post their factorial observations there.
Aside from the general recommendations, I've had the most fun finding stuff I'm into and posting/commenting to build a little momentum in the communities.
Most recently I've been into chess, so I've been fairly active in [email protected] and [email protected]
I couldnt tell you, im starting to block most of the communities that im coming across. All they post about is trump or echo on about some political stance. Its like they are just trying to either piss people off to get reactions or whip eachother into a political coma frenzy. It feels just like reddit to me, im starting to think Lemmy has the same bot problems.
Ill probably just end up using lemmy for inane memes and or porn, as i have yet to come across anything informative. I haven't really done any serious looking tho, so.... shrug
Sounds like you need to take a break, man.
Your posts are public. Your lemmy data can be pulled to train AI too.
Of course, it's just less likely since Lemmy isn't owned by a (now) publicly traded company that is a shadow of its former self.
It’s likely less likely because the user base and SEO isn’t at Reddit’s level. That said, it’s ripe for the picking. Freely available data for Gen AI, and the admins don’t have a legal team like Reddit.
I think it's also a smidge less likely in the sense that the data would have to be accessed/scraped from many different instances, as opposed to the sort of bulk data reddit seems to be selling. So I'd say protection from AI is much the same as lock protection. Someone can almost always pick the lock, but if you deter folks they'll look for easier targets. If you want to ensure none of your words are used by AI, post nothing.
