there is also more diverse content than the crap that was on here six months ago.

when 50% of the frontpage is linux memes... you're not going to gain the interest of most new users. now it seems to be down to about 20%

And cause of windows 11, those 20% are more relevant than ever.

It's also worth noting I've recently been seeing a lot of Linux posts from people who just switched, this was somewhat of a trend on Reddit as well but imo the Linux posting has gotten noticeably less toxic toward newer users and a lot more understanding of the "using Linux without wanting to spend hours configuring everything" perspective.

Side point that's somewhat related to that: I wonder how the growth of other platforms FOSS platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix, etc. has impacted Linux project development. Not sure if it's just me but it seems like it's helped a lot with making Linux communities more accessible.

Do I hear you say there's not enough linux memes? Let's fix that!

Anyway to make the all page more diverse? I feel like it’s just 10 communities that appear there and it’s basically broken down to tech, memes and politics. I’m on lemmy.world and ysint voyager. Every once in a while I see stuff from sh.itjust.works.

I know when I used to use kbin, you first had to let your device sync with other instances before they started populating onto your feed.

Please don't delete this list. I am checking it out later.

I knew about most of these, but had not stumbled upon casual conversation yet, thank you!

use Scaled sort

also just using the Subscribed feed is better than All, I spend a lot more time on Subscribed than on All

just look for communities on https://lemmyverse.net/communities

and subscribe to [email protected]

Didn’t even think to try scaled. It most definitely is showing more diverse posts. Downside is that it brings back a lot of non english speaking communities. Still a good option for exploring though!

Set your language options in your profile settings, should hide some of them, I think they're still working on improving Lemmy's default language settings
