Kind of answers the suggestion I had a while ago ( https://lemmyverse.link/lemm.ee/post/52588852 ) to have instances that would hide political communities from the All feed to be more welcoming to new joiners.
If a generalist instance implemented a similar hide list, it could become the one recommendation for new joiners, at it would avoid overwhelming them with politics.
I am against your proposal.
Because it would effectively amount to a (simple, rudimentary) recommendation algorithm. We should not have such a thing by default. Rather, the user has to explicitely agree to getting “clever” recommendations. Otherwise, we end up in the same mess as Twitter, Facebook, … getting claims that we have a “biased” algorithm.
uhm, there is no algorithm. just choice to subscribe a bunch at once. i don’t even know all meme communities, so how can i subscribe all of them? there is no way at the moment. even if someone knew all and subscribed to them, chances are, if a new one gets created, they will never see it, because they are just getting their subscribed memes.
