Does anyone else feel the general lemmy instances are noise?

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?

You forgot porn. I'm blocking unwanted communities as I come across them. Slowly separating the wheat from the chaff.

Wait, there's porn?

So much porn, regular porn, amateur porn, furry porn. I have 18+ turned off and some of it still slips through sometimes.

I keep reading this but it literally never shows up in my feed. I have filters off too. I wonder why that is.
