What I did to improve my reddit experience:<p>1. unsubscribe to all the big default subreddits, like askreddit, funny, etc (don't worry, you can still check them out if you want).<p>2. go to r/all and use the filter feature to block the most annoying content or popular stuff that you absolutely don't care about. I blocked politics subreddits, some memes, anime, communities for popular youtubers, some of the worse default ones. Just look at the current /r/all listing and block whatever you don't care about that appears in the first few pages, refresh and do it again a few times. I go back every once in a while to repeat the process.<p>3. subscribe to specific things you care about. smaller communities are better, some of the large ones are better moderated than others.<p>4. favorite a few (3-4) subreddits that are about things I want to check often.<p>My home feed is mostly tailored to my interests, even if there's some fluff. Smaller subreddits I don't check often and appear there. Then I check my favorite subreddits for specific things, and there's r/all for the popular stuff.<p>I find that general topics like tech, music, sports are usually bad, but more specific, not necessarily niche, are better (a sub about a specific framework, maybe, or about your hometown, favorite band, or favorite team). Moderation style helps a lot.
