Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Lemmy didn't have really The Algorithm to feed your media consumption. You need to build your own diet by subscribing to communities of your choice. You can use this search engine to find ones that interest you. https://lemmyverse.net/
I am subscribed to a good bunch of communities I'm interested in, but even then I don't feel like the posts are that relevant or interesting
Sort by Scaled. That fixed it a lot for me. Sorting by Hot or Active or whatever the default is tends to bury the smaller/nicher communities, causing the feed to just be a bunch of news articles
What do you actually mean?
I don't want to be mean but you have to actually use words to be a bit more descriptive than that and maybe think about it some more.
If the posts are irrelevant - subscribe to different communities? How do you normally decide on these things, like e.g. how do you find YouTube channels to subscribe to and how do you decide which of these to watch? Are you applying the same logic here? If not, why not? If yes, then what's the aspect of the usual/expected outcome that is missing?
What are your expectations for Lemmy? How would the posts be more relevant or interesting? What are they lacking in exactly?
