why is like 30% of the content on Lemmy star trek related? is it just a side effect of the particular communities I’m in or is it an actual platform-wide thing?

    Lemmy needs better sort options. Certain communities get a ton more posts than other communities, so their posts wind up being a huge percentage of the front page.

    Lemmy needs a hot+diverse sort option that weights against posts in a community that already has a lot of posts on the the front page of hot.

    I don’t want to block those communities, i just want to see other topics too

        I’m my experience the scaled sort just has the same problem only the opposite. You end up with a feed full of mostly brand new posts in empty communities.

        Either a dozen posts by a moderator of one community, or a single user posting the same thing to a dozen vaguely related communities.

          yeah, it’s not the best. might be good to have an option that makes it so you can’t get stuff from the same community more than a couple times in a row.
