Long ago I made a reddit account with the first suggested name after the one I asked for was 'taken', disabled following all the subreddits, and then selectively added subreddits specific to my hobbies.
I don't see anything that normally hits the front page, everything I do see is somewhat relevant to me, and it basically deletes all politics from what is presented.
By far the best reddit experience possible, I think.
- 8ytecoder 5y agoMind sharing a few interesting ones?

- LegitShady 5y agothey're literally my personal interests. Find smaller subreddits related to your personal interests. If you don't like the same things I like my subreddits are unlikely to be interesting to you. The whole point here is to get rid of the all of the default subreddits, since they become garbage once they become default no matter what, and then find things that you're actually interested in that aren't default and thus not full of 'normies' who ruin most of reddit. There was a time before reddit got huuuuge that most of it was pretty ok, but that time was years and years ago. Now there are just niche subreddits of quality and an ocean of garbage.
- mrhands556 5y agoI used to enjoy reddit so much but it’s honestly the worst place on the internet today. Every major sub is infested with politics, bias mods and toxic comments. I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit is heavily influenced by bot activity. If you were a foreign influence who wanted to convey a certain narrative, then reddit would be the de-facto place for that. 1. Upvote and downvote system, where downvoted squelch bad takes, is perfect for narrative forming. 2. The demographic for reddit are young minds who most likely have a position on a certain topic because they’ve been told to from a place like reddit.

- ryantgtg 5y agoI assumed this is how almost everyone uses reddit!
- LegitShady 5y agoby vote counts its clear the default subs (and subs that used to be default) are the biggest with the most traffic, so probably not.
- bikson 5y agoThis is the way. But also creating information bubble.
- LegitShady 5y agoI don't get any news from reddit - its purely an entertainment vehicle for me, so I don't worry about the bubble portion of it. If I'm in a synthesizer or fiction writing bubble, so be it.
