Thanks that makes sense. I get why some people are against it, but ranking on your engagement can be super useful imo. Like if I comment on a couple niche communities a lot, I don’t want those to be drowned out by the much larger communities.
So check on those couple niche communities more often. All and Local feeds are not meant to deliver you custom content, Home is a curated list that you create, and if there’s anything you want to see more of, visit it directly as often as you like.
Even simpler, I think being able to “favourite” some communities and (optionally?) applying a greater weight to those communities in a user’s feeds would solve the problem quite nicely.
I can’t really imagine wanting to do the reverse anyway (subscribed to a community but I want to see less of its content)
Not really relevant here, but back when we were all on the old site, I was always bothered by the perverted nature of some of the questions on their equivalent of c/asklemmy. I wish I had a way to prevent NSFW specifically from that community from showing up on my feed while also still getting to see dank memes and dark jokes.
I thoroughly enjoy being able to design my own feed, and not have some corporation shove stuff down my throat in order to keep my engagement up. The past couple times I’ve checked facebook (primarily to check events) I’ve left again almost immediately, because I’m so put off by the way they shove stuff in my face just to find out what I’m interested in. I’ve even noticed that if I spend more time looking at a post from some source (no clicks/interaction, just reading text on an image) they start funnelling more of that into my feed.

It’d be nice if each one was weighted and we could adjust the weights to see some more than others. By default it would just be as it is now.

I can see someone getting tired of a sub and wanting to see less of it but not wanting to unsubscribe

Right? I don’t want to see the porn nsfw stuff, but stuff like violent games, movie, shows, etc that also get marked nsfw I wanna see.

There are people who sort by new posts, or new comments, it’s not as common but some people do sort by it so in a way you’re helping to spread
Edit: oh, you asked if it would show up more in your feed, not others’
