Simple Living

Welcome, everyone! For anyone like myself who appreciates a nice, clean interface, I thought I'd write a quick guide on how to remove some of the extraneous stuff.

The first step is to open the settings page. This link will work if you're a lemmy.ml user, but for others you can click your username in the top-right corner and then click "Settings."

Type: switching from "Local" to "Subscribed" will show you only communities that you have subscribed to on your homepage by default.

Show Avatars: unchecking this will hide all user and community avatar images, making Lemmy more in-line with old Reddit.

Show Scores: unchecking this is certainly not necessary, but a bit of a more radical experiment I'm doing. I personally find that being able to see my vote scores can lead to me wanting to refresh my profile to see how things are doing. This setting removes that desire!

Hope this helps you transition to Lemmy. Have a great day!
