The comic leaves out the whole “joining the right server and communities for you” part. If nobody tells you before joining, then you see a bunch of horrible stuff. If someone does tell you before joining, then it’s a daunting prospect.
Yes. Filter lists to subscribe to would be a big help to new users.
Especially if we could generate a default one that just includes some kind of median block/filter set generated from previous choices across users on the current instance.
Then a new user could just make one early choice: “Automatically filter unpopular content” or “see everything”.

You: I don’t want to see Rage Bait and stupid engagement bait shit on Lemmy!
Also you: I don’t want to isolate myself to only content I want to see!
You: [ragebait]
Also you: [stupid engagement bait shit]
You don’t know what any of those terms mean, do you?

No, I’m just queer and Poly.
The right doesn’t like that I have multiple relationships and am sexually attracted to all genders.

Oh, I see you’re intentionally trying to ragebait. So you see ragebait content because you proliferate it. Got it.
