This was basically me. Looked around for an app I liked, couldn't find one for Lemmy but there was an okay-ish open source one for reddit. Used that for awhile but kept an eye on Lemmy.
My only issue now is that i want to ignore an couple instances (lemmynsfw, and the like) but I can't.... Can I? There isn't enough content in "subscribed new" and find I'm going to "all new" but there's too much NSFW... Maybe I'm on here too much.
I had a similar experience.
I'm using "Connect." For every post I see, there's both a "block this community" and "block this instance" option. After I started making use of these, my feed (while still limited) became much more palatable. Presumably other apps have similar functionality, but I cannot comment definitively.
I use Voyager and have had the same experience as you. I blocked some communities from lemmynsfw and now even my feed from all of the fediverse is pretty good.
