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!

You have to subscribe to more communities

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.
