I feel there is a disproportionate amount of people on Lemmy for memes vs actual genuine discussions on hot topics.

Curious also if there is perhaps a solution to this?

    There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what’s going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn’t be e.g. on reddit.

    I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I’d prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don’t have that here.

      @solrize Maybe it’s time for some us to create Text-Only Communities to chat in as i’m sure that would be amazing to see. It’s that or I’m sure there’s already some community already made to be a “Just Chatting” one or something.
