I’d still like some more diversity of content though.

I think some people want Lemmy to become as big as Reddit. I don’t care if it does, I just want it to be big enough to have a good stream of content.

That is inherent with the decentralized nature of instances. Hopefully with all the new dev attention we’ll get community grouping and account linking to make it a bit another. But if you don’t like the power consolidation from centralized systems this is the solution, warts and all.
