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?

I feel it's mostly politics, which I really was not looking forward to - getting away from the fever pitch, very angry American politics constantly flooding Reddit was a welcome break for like five whole minutes, there.

I try to block most obvious political shit, it just doesn't help because there's dozens and dozens of subs shovelling it out on the "front page".

I think we just need more users posting in other communities. I try to fill in to gaming when I can, but I can't keep up with the news cycles just yet.
