Why is most content on Lemmy just old memes?

I really like Lemmy so far, but sometimes my feed is just invaded by old facebook memes.

If I may suggest, start following federated pages too. Each social media has its niche, and now, with federation that allows direct communications, it's the perfect opportunity to find a social media whose features you like (which you seem to have already gotten), and curate your contents so it's perfect for you without depending solely on your chosen social media's niche.

You mean like mastadon? You're on kbin but lemmy doesn't support following microblogs.

Just checked your instance, and this page seems like a good start:
https://lemm.ee/communities?listingType=All&page=1

Then you can filter pages around, subscribe to pages as they pick your interest, etc.

Then, if it's anything like Lemmy World about sorting (can't verify since I don't have an account in your instance), you can visit https://lemm.ee/?dataType=Post&listingType=Subscribed&page=1&sort=New to check all your subscribed contents, and by newest (I recommend "newest" because I get the impression posts start repeating themselves after a while with other sorting features).

Are you talking about subscribing to communities?

Yes. ( also just remembered there are some mix up in naming conventions across the fediverse... "<.< )

Ah, right, they're "magazines" on kbin. I forgot too.
