subscribe to communities and let lemmy show you the posts from the communities you subscribed to. not ALL.
you’re right a few meme communities are really ‘loud’.
If you don’t know what communities are out there, use this site find something you might like.
I block the meme communities, then sort by newest comments, or top.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=vvANy49Kqhw&
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
ha! new piped link doesn’t include the time skip!
Can’t upvote this enough. Once I blocked most of the meme communities and Reddit post bots, my feed got so much better.
You should figure out what the feeds mean. By default, the feed on Reddit should be hot of your subscribed subreddits. By default, the feed on Lemmy should be active of local subreddits. Change your feed to subscribed and hot (go to your profile on the top right and change your default feed) to get an experience more similar to Reddit
This, and block the meme subs explicitly.
Thats mostly coz thats what is hot i guess , u need to subscribe some communities!
It depends on what content you read on Reddit. There are versions of ask Reddit here and lots articles being posted. I don’t think there’s as many of Reddit’s opinion pieces
Honestly it just doesn’t have that critical mass yet. I still miss weekly anime discussion threads.
As for remaking all the previous subs, I haven’t even tried make any myself yet.
The first thing I did when I made an account on Kbin was block the several meme instances that showed up on the front page feed. Shouldn’t everyone do that?
Funnily enough this post appeared in my feed 😅
This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.
