Even with their thousands of users, the libs can't even harness a fraction of our power

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

It's actually really nice seeing these high numbers. It feels like Lemmy is getting a lot of traffic and is really active! It's just a shame that in its current state, the smaller communities get buried and are basically invisible to the front page.
An idea that occurred to me: allowing users to assign weight values to their subscriptions. It’ll allow a bit more granularity than the binary sub/unsub
I don't think that'd be a good idea. Less is more ultimately, and the less users have to choose the better. Think of it this way, they already struggle with picking a federated server, so choice is hard. Ideally a good algo should be able to balance that, and I think Reddit's algo is pretty good about that. I know they used to open source their algo, and Lemmy bases their Hot feed off of it, but I think they definitely have changed and tweaked it since then. But, for the better anyways.
I disagree because competent users shouldn’t be held back simply because others won’t know how to use it properly.
It should be “hidden” with the settings to a certain degree, not the default. It would be a nice option though.
