    I liked Lemmy a little bit more before the July 1st influx. Not because of the people, but because there is now more ‘popular’ content that has resulted in less niche content. I’ve subscribed to so many communities that I don’t even see comments from many of the smaller ones because the larger ones dominate the feed.

      That’s why there needs to be some kind of algorithm when it sees the standard sorting of your feed would result in a long list from the same sub it should instead alternate as much as it can with other subs before continuing with the one dominating, if that makes sense.

      Do you have any recommendations for cool niche communities? I just got here.

      Also, I’m tempted to make different accounts for different feeds to customize what I can see when I want to see them to avoid exactly your described problem.

      The riff-raff have started drifting in. Saw an honest-to-Tesla Musk fanboi on here this morning and knew the cherry had been popped.
