Does anyone else feel the general lemmy instances are noise? (kbin.social)

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?

Yup. The niche restaurants and cool bookstores aren’t found in small towns. You gotta go where there are more people to find those. Online spaces are going to be similar.

There are still a ton of tiny niche message boards, but for new social media sites, the bigger, the better, sadly.
