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?

Absolutely. I really wish kbin had a local feed for magazines. I don't like how it's either "subscribed" or "all", which includes every federated instance.

On the sidebar, if you click the fediverse icon (the 3 dots with lines between them), you can turn federation off. This will show you only local content. However, this does still show local kbin users posting to federated magazines, because technically they're posting to the local copy on kbin and it just happens to get federated out on the backend. But it should reduce the amount of completely federated things you see

Much appreciated!

What a difference, thank you!

Thank you for explaining this, I've had federation turned off for a while now and have been wondering why so many things from Lemmy still pop up.
