In another thread, I read a user's comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page.

Is this your experience? How was lemmy when you joined and how do you think it's changed?

I decided to create a few threads after a few months hiatus and was surprised by the levels of engagement. I think the audience is hungry for content and that more people need to take the plunge and start threads.

With that said, going to /all instead of /subscribed is largely frustrating since the most frequent posts are just memes and inside jokes

The trick is to block all meme communities

A big part of this is the ranking algorithm. It doesn't scale based on the size of the community so the large meme communities pretty much exclusively rise to the top. There's a fix in the works I believe but I'm not sure where on the roadmap it is.

Scaled sort will be in 0.19.0, so probably in the next month, maybe 2 months
