I’m mildly annoyed with clicking on a thumbnail only to be suddenly taken to a page I know/care nothing about.
This might be your client app, maybe…? On Jerboa, tapping a post takes me to the lemmy comments first. Opening the link is a second deliberate tap.

Don’t know of such a filter. But did you know that that is the primary function of Lemmy? It is a link aggregator first and foremost. Everything else stems from that.

Sure, but much like Reddit, the primary use case is just reading the article title and commenting based off of that. /s

No /s, we all know it’s true!

Hey, we look to the comments to see if someone else read it and summarized it first before commenting!

Fair enough. My main reason for joining was to scroll through memes and engage with fan communities I’m part of. I used to have a reddit account a long time ago, but I left, and recently tried to make an account again, only to discover what a clusterf*** things have become, which sent me running here after weird stuff started happening with my new account.

Reddit is also a link aggregator. In the case of memes it just links directly to the picture.
In your case I would just subscribe to the communities you like and ignore all the others.

Like hell. It’s a ranked threaded discussion forum.

The goal of a system is what it does. That’s true for communities too.
Lemmy isn’t much of a link aggregator. It’s more more a discussion platform. But it’s open for specializing some part of it, what is really great.
