I think in part it's that a few Lemmy communities are extremely active / almost spammy and there's no algorithm filtering how much content you get from each place. In the "All" view, most of the content I see comes from the same couple of Lemmy "meme" communities. So it's no wonder most of the content I'm seeing comes from Lemmy when almost all of it comes from two specific communities which are basically meme factories. If I filter those out, there's suddenly a much bigger variety of content from all around and on my "Subscribed" tab I can see plenty of activity from Kbin communities.
You can fix this by subscribing to magazines, and then choosing "subscriptions" in the dropdown menu, or defaulting to subscription in your user settings.
I did this, and only the lemmy magazines I subscribe to show in my feed.
The lotrmemes users have been very energetic in aiming to produce content, I must say.
But yeah, you can just blacklist a handful of very active subs.
I wish the front page had a better distribution of posts from magazines. I do not want to log in to filter out the meme factories.
