Most technology news your average layman is interested in is ads for new products and how tech companies turn out to not be so great to work for. I think that's why most news that appear on top don't really cover the fun stuff.

It's off site, but hackaday.com is great for (mostly) electronics and computer tech articles.
Hey, if you don't like it you can get the hell out of r/Elon, we don't want you here!
~oh...wait~
That’s just what’s happening in the tech industry right now. Loads of firings and other issues. That’s the human factor of tech.

@GBU_28 I see what you mean!
The smaller tech communities seem to have a better signal to noise ratio, I was in [email protected] the other day and it's mostly posts about actual tech.

This is one of the reason that I think the @[email protected] bot should have retired a while back. [email protected] already the biggest comm on this platform that it doesn't need a repost bot from reddit, and having it around inevitably turns this community into a duplicate of r/technology which is more tech business and privacy than it is about interesting tech.
However, you can say that this is also an advantage of Lemmy over reddit, since if you don't like the content of [email protected], you can always use another technology comm like [email protected] or start your own, instead of making something like r/truetechnology or something like that as on reddit. (This is also the reason why I don't think community merging is a good idea on the server side.)
