Poop

Try joining more niche communities: This stuff will be all over the general/meme comms for a while as reddit continues to melt down.

Stop using “All” “Hot/Active/Top” feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to “Subscribed”.

You need to subscribe to some communities/magazines and contribute on them. Reddit news is getting upvoted the most because it matters to everyone on here, whereas content related to some niche community only matters to that niche community. There are already lots of great conversations happening in the fediverse of Lemmy and Kbin, they just can’t compete with Reddit news for the front page.

Give it time, and be one of the people who contribute thoughtful posts on the topics you’re interested in.
