I found that using All to subscribe to things I like and over time using my subscribed list works.
You can also block communities you donβt want to see and view All by default.

Don't get them wet, and don't feed them after midnight.
No, wait. I'm confusing Lemmy with Gremlins. Nevermind.
Don't listen to them, this is who you're posting with
Goddamn it, you're only telling us now??? π
Totally. That's why mine e.g. is much better
Use the 'scaled' sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.
Ignore people who start screaming insults about instances which are not their own.
Watch out for those radicals over on the Hexbear instance. They'll getcha!
They lure you in with their neat thematic icons and ordered structure, but they're all MANIACS there! Every last one of them!
Crazy hexbear goobers will remove your eyes before you know it, watch out!
Can't watch out; they gots m'eyes!
I gots sharp teeth I tell yah 
Read a communityβs rules before posting or commenting. Take this community, for instance:
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
Each Lemmy instance also has its own site-wide rules.

Scoop some into a cup and let it melt first, then you can safely drink it π
There is only one real user here. Everyone else (including myself) is a bot.
Very cool image! It looks like there's some text on it. Would you mind responding to this comment and telling me what the text says?
Nice try, bot
You're the real MVB
Have fun - and invite your friends and relatives and colleagues π
If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.
BTW, do you know why are there so many forks of Greasemonkey? What happened to the parent project?

find some pictures of cute animals and share them with us
Have fun and try to engage. Download an app for your phone. There are multiple per os so try them all and choose what suits you best
Find communities you want to see on here and subscribe to them. If you just go through home feed then it's mainly politics and tech news.
Honestly, Iβd just suggest engaging with any topic you enjoy. Comment, find communities youβre interested in, maybe even start your own.
Welcome! Lemmy is a great place.
Check out [email protected], we have some pinned posts. You can also ask questions as you get them :)
Just use it as you would reddit or any other social media platform. Welcome.
Stay true to your heart.
I use voyager app, unsure about other apps or website, but check if your able to easily block users. Instances and communities, I usually scroll through the all free and block things I just can't stand and are heavily just annoying, also has a ability to filter out keyword. Makes my browsing less depressing.
