Hopped onto reddit recently and took a look at my home page (beehaw.org)

It's been a while since I've been on reddit so I thought I'd browse some of my old fav subs that haven't really migrated to lemmy. These are mostly queer subs along the line of r/actuallesbians and r/tgcj.

I noticed that these subs were suspiciously missing from my front page. There's still plenty of activity on these subs and they used to show up on my feed all the time, but now I can't find a single post on my page. I have to actually go out and manually open up the subs.

I know that Reddit kept queer subs out of the Reddit Recap a while back, but this is on a whole 'nother level. Either some background setting has changed and that's the reason I don't see my favorite subs anymore, or Reddit has just started cracking down on queer communities again. Either way, disgusting.

Subs appearing on your front page is based on how often you visit them so going to them should fix it. There are other factors in the algorithm that I dont quite know or understand , but I do know there are some esoteric and weird subs that make my front page a lot but only do because I click them often.

I noticed during and after the big protest where subs shut down that it lead to my front page becoming totally different and some subs that I forgot I even subscribed to bubbled up to the surface and this remained the same after things started coming back online again.

Yup that's been my experience. Sometimes I'll visit subs that I forgot existed, that I'm subbed to. Next thing I know, those posts from that sub will keep showing up on my frontpage. And then they'll eventually falloff and get replaced if I don't go back.

Lately, because I'm only really going on reddit for specific things that I can't find on Lemmy or Tildes, my frontpage is mainly posts from those specific subs.
