There are tons of active communities now, mobile apps that work great (this is a big one), and many more tools to block content that you don't want to see.

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%

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.

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 !newcommunities@lemmy.world

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
