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
What? I don't remember ever before seeing anything about Star Trek on Lemmy. Then again I only look at things I am subscribed to normally.
These kinds of "why is there so much content about $topic on $platform" questions always have the same answer: we have no idea why you are getting exposed to whatever you're getting exposed to.
You're surprised at the large concentration of nerds here?
I'm a nerd and I don't like Star Trek (The Orville is good, though). I also don't like Anime, trading card games, and all the other stereotypical nerd shit. I don't even use Linux (mainly because of KDE's half-assed HDR support). But I'm big on science, computing and gadgets.
The excessive Star Trek posts are annoying.
Because socialism and this platform is not skewed towards the centre-right/fascism
A lot less than 1% of mine is Star Trek related. I'm not even even sure I've seen enough Star Trek content for it to register as a meaningful fraction of a %.
So, yeah I would think that:
is it just a side effect of the particular communities I’m in
Like discussed in another very recent topic related to porn, it's great to be able to easily filter-out whatever one does not wish to see.
