Reddit is Dead. Lemmy is Dead. Everything is Dead.

I think single user instances and subscribing to communities doesn't really work with lemmy because of the low volume and overlapping communities.

I actually read all new on my instance and just block anything I don't want to see instead of subscribing. That was when communities come and go I still see the content. There are tradeoffs though you'll have to come back later to see lots of comments usually.
