It’s been a while since I’ve been on reddit so I thought I’d browse some of my old fav subs that haven’t really migrated to lemmy. These are mostly queer subs along the line of r/actuallesbians and r/tgcj.
I noticed that these subs were suspiciously missing from my front page. There’s still plenty of activity on these subs and they used to show up on my feed all the time, but now I can’t find a single post on my page. I have to actually go out and manually open up the subs.
I know that Reddit kept queer subs out of the Reddit Recap a while back, but this is on a whole 'nother level. Either some background setting has changed and that’s the reason I don’t see my favorite subs anymore, or Reddit has just started cracking down on queer communities again. Either way, disgusting.
reddit doesn’t dare put anything out in the open that might offend advertisers, and being LGBTQ is now “controversial” in the current news supercycle, so bye bye it getting disappeared.
also Pig Boy Huffman is a blue-eyed blond-haired affluenza nazi who thinks he’ll be a slave owner in the coming apocalypse, so like, it’s totally on brand for him to try and suppress The Gays as well.
Noticed the same thing the last time I logged on. For me, my feed was primarily queer subs and subs relating to philosophy and religion. The explicitly religious subs (Christianity, Hinduism, etc) were still there, but the subs related to philosophy, occult, other niche topics, were much less heavily featured, and the queer subs were just gone.
Subs appearing on your front page is based on how often you visit them so going to them should fix it. There are other factors in the algorithm that I dont quite know or understand , but I do know there are some esoteric and weird subs that make my front page a lot but only do because I click them often.
I noticed during and after the big protest where subs shut down that it lead to my front page becoming totally different and some subs that I forgot I even subscribed to bubbled up to the surface and this remained the same after things started coming back online again.
Still showing on my home, but basically all of my activity has been LGBTQ+ subs and fuckcars (which is currently using LGBT+ flag in its profile pic and also not advertiser friendly). Does seem weird some of the trans subs aren’t near the top while a lot of the aroace subs seem to be overrepresented compared to my activity in the 6 months prior to blackout…
