All browsing is what really sucks for some niche communities. Until we have the ability to exclude our communities from all, these niche communities don't have a chance to survive.

The devs said that they’re working on a new sorting method that pushes small communities up in the feed. I’m excited to see how it will work.

That'll be great for most communities. That's the exact opposite of what I want for a few specific ones though

OTOH, discoverability sucks and requires using external tools, so I’m not sure exclusion really helps.

While I’m at it, in case any folk metal fans read this: Please join [email protected], I’m feeling very lonely 99% posting by myself ;)

Throwing it in my All feed at least so other people in my instance will see it eventually next posts =)

There's a surprising amount of subscribed users even. They are all just very quiet :/
