I quite value content from targetted instances, but most of the “general” instances seem to be memes, posts on boosting lemmy, memes, reddit, memes bot posts, memes, reddit, memes, discussion on lemmy mobile applications, memes reddit, memes, and people talking about how the lemmy changed their lives oh and memes.

I would browse hot on reddit as a way to see things outside my subscribed bubble but I have given up. The signal to noise ratio is terrible.

Is anyone else experiencing this? How are you discovering magazines?

    Yeah kind of. A lot of duplicate material. But that’s to be expected I guess. The ratio of tech to non tech stuff is too high, and I hate memes but that’s just personal preference.

    I just browse ‘all’ on my local instance every once in a while to see if any new interesting communities have appeared, and then I’ll subscribe to them and go back to just browsing ‘subscribed’.

    I figure eventually I’ll discover the best communities that I’m interested in but I’m not expecting it to happen overnight.
