The nature of All is that it’s, well, all of what other users (on your instance) are discussing. Just like you could see when certain types of users were active on Reddit from r/All, or when a major event happened, so is the case here.
There are a few things you can do about it though - First, you can switch to your subscribed communities. You won’t see all of the randomness, but it should be limited to your areas of interest.
Second, you can block the major communities you want to avoid, most notably this one.
Third, and this is the hardest one, you can get a bunch of other, unrelated discussions started. That way, people aren’t discussing this. But I swear to God, if I see one more post about the fucking beans…
I suppose you could try another instance, or mass subscribing to new communities, but I suspect this is going to be the big topic for a while across the Lemmyverse.
OMG. And this is how I learned that there is a button to view only my subscribed communities. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that before. I was confused why so few of my subscribed communities were showing up on my front page, while communities I wasn’t interested in were, but I didn’t stop to think about it enough to realize there was another option I hadn’t tried.
Lord. Anyway, thank you for mentioning that, otherwise who knows how long it would’ve been before I finally realized lol.
