Don't use /r/all or /r/popular. Subscribe to the subreddits you want to see. If you want to find other similar subreddits, look through the about section of your subscribed subreddits. There's also a really cool Map of Reddit that shows related subreddits based on how often users from one subreddit comment on another.
Create custom feeds based on topics you're interested in. Add those subreddits which fit that particular topic. Then when you want to see posts about a particular topic, you can go to that custom feed and see a feed across multiple related subreddits.

You can also go to r/findareddit to search for a sub regarding a particular interest of yours. Not every sub is labeled plainly. For example, not that you're looking for it, but Arby's sub reddit is not r/arbys, it's r/bys, which is funny, but might confuse you at first. Not the best example but hopefully you get the idea.

Also, if you don't follow multiple subs that have enough fresh content regularly, your homepage will try to "fill in the blanks" with all the BS you don't want to see.

I can speak for myself but personally Home feed has become trash over these few years it became filled with new low upvote low quality posts. I remember when you could change the sorting for the Home feed. Quite often I just change to Popular tab or view subreddits individually to see posts with higher engagement and with more upvotes.

Leave all default subs
Bookmark https://old.reddit.com/hot/
Install uBlock Origin and Old Reddit Redirect plugins
Use uBlock Origin to hide social features and promoted items

I haven't found a good way to do this. The frontpage is 90% politics if I'm logged out. Logging in makes it a little bit better as it will favor my followed subs but even then its pretty bad.

You can disable recommended subs so that every post is from your followed subs only

topselection@reddit

I think this is on by default with old reddit. I see people complain about the sub recommendations sometimes and it confuses me.

bgovern@reddit

At this point, you should just unsubscribe from all the default subreddits. I think the last one I still had in my feed was /videos, but I noticed in the last few weeks that it was all TDS nonsense. I went to the sub and found that they had removed the ban on political posts, so now the entire front page of it was nothing but political crap.

You can try this:

However, there is no stopping the enshittification of reddit (and the rest of the internet), this is more like putting on rubber gloves and wearing a trash bag, so you get less shit on you. The guide I posted might temporarily make it worth the effort.

With the Onslaught of bots and AI, a lot of us will be leaving all social media behind in the next ten years.

There's just no money in things like fun or making connections. The internet is over basically.

The mute subreddit button is peak, I probably have at least 200 muted especially the karma farm ones

Pamasich@reddit

Don't use /all and choose carefully which subreddits you subscribe to.

rimu@reddit

During onboarding, piefed.social asks you whether you're tired of trump / musk news and adds a keyword filter if so.

Reddit could never do this.

Leave communities you don't want to follow. Only check your home page. Engage a lot with posts you do like seeing. Search for what you like and scroll within the threads for a while. Click some ads if they pop up. Comment and get into back and forth discussions in those threads. Do a lot of upvoting and downvoting.
