I understand what you're saying. Using big ol' American social media, you became dependent to algorithms, that regularly show you similar content that you might be interested in without explicitly requesting it (This is how I found the BuyFromEU sub on reddit that lead me here). The thing is: this is really unhealthy and you're letting a company or network decide what you're interested in. You have to and will get used to it, even if it means you're missing out on things in the beginning. I'm following the suggestion from others and scroll through "all" from time to time, which presented me some cool communities that I follow now. Hang in there!

I agree. there's nothing wrong with a hot or top section. Platform curated stuff "only for you" is bad.

Even if a platform curates stuff it can be good, if everyone sees it.

I do not want to sit only in my bubble (like people tend to be on tiktok, facebook et al).

I want to see what others do. Automatically. Lemmy already has a feed for everything and hot and active etc. But not only for memes. Multicommunities are a good step towards that but we are not there yet.

Lemmy still lacks tags.

I am still in the same 5 subs I was 3 years ago. Just because I am not aware of other subs and I am too old to have 10 friends all meming their way through the web
