Does anyone else feel the general lemmy instances are noise? (kbin.social)

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?

It's the same for me. I've seen a few mentions of the feeds containing too much porn but I've not seen a single porn community/magazine or post, personally. I even checked my settings last time I saw it mentioned and I've not got anything set that should disable it (and I've seen one or two posts marked as "+18" so I know they can show in my feed).

It's not like I'm desperate to have porn in my feed - I'd rather keep my general browsing and porn separate, in fact - but I do find it odd that it doesn't show for me at all while other people are complaining about how common it is.

I also noticed that and assumed it would be an issue but the only thing I've seen with "+18" that actually deserved it was some drone footage of some Russian soldiers in a trench who appeared to be giving/receiving a blowjob with cartoon Prigohzin pointing at it.
