I feel like most posts on Lemmy are irrelevant to me, and they don’t refresh much, is this how Lemmy is like or is this just because I’m a new user?

    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

        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?
