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’m not sure that small communities are doomed to have lower quality content, but it definitely requires more moderation to prevent spam.
People also need to be better conditioned. They treat content quantity as being more important than quality, which is essentially the opposite of what you want when it comes to high quality posting.
