Comment on I live in the EU area; why is the 'Evanston, IL' community ~half of my feed at LOCAL/Active?

Local is not geographically local. It means all communities on the lemmy.world instance. What you can do is block the Evanston community, or, subscribe to the communities you care about then browse by Subscribed instead of Local. Unfortunately some communities dump tens of posts at once and end up looking spammy.

Thanks for the clarification. So it’s probably the first point.
I know about blocking communities, and probably will do - I just feel that blocking a community is a bit overkill, especially if otherwise I don’t mind seeing posts from them, just not that many. I also use the Subsribed feature when I get bored of random/spammy content, but my curse is that I’m interested in niche, slow communities, so I can choose between these two.
It’s alright, the rest of my problem is not relevant here anyway, and you answered my question, so thanks a lot!

I wish lemmy had a hide community option, one that could be used so you do not see the posts in your feed, but could visit the community and see what is there.
