i’ve noticed that a lot of the content on my lemmy feed seems to be centered around lgbtq+ topics, which I’m not really interested in. i’m not looking to debate or criticize anyone’s identity, but I’d like to see a broader range of topics that align more with my preferences. i’m already subscribed to those instances but somehow that sort of content keeps on creeping in.

is lemmy as a platform particularly focused on lgbtq+ or is my feed just skewed for some reason?

are there specific instances or settings I should check out to balance things out. thanks for any advice!

    And block those you do not want to see if you use all.

    I really wish lemmy had a mute option in addition to block. There are both users and communities I do not want to see posts from, but if I see comments (from users) and visit certain communities that is okay.

    Some users seem to post every single news article they happen upon, most time I think without reading any of them. I tend to avoid all of their posts, a mute button would be fantastic.

      Worst is when they copy the click bait title, so the comments are full of people raging about something like “Lemmy now has a premium cost”, without realizing it’s bull shit.
