But how do you get new content? Assume “star wars” comes out tomorrow. How would I see that there is the new tag/sub? I’d have to actively search for it which is what I don’t like
As others have said you can set your feed to “all active” or “all top 6h”. If you select all instead of local or subscribed you’ll see something similar to Reddit /all
I understand what you’re saying. Using big ol’ American social media, you became dependent to algorithms, that regularly show you similar content that you might be interested in without explicitly requesting it (This is how I found the BuyFromEU sub on reddit that lead me here). The thing is: this is really unhealthy and you’re letting a company or network decide what you’re interested in. You have to and will get used to it, even if it means you’re missing out on things in the beginning. I’m following the suggestion from others and scroll through “all” from time to time, which presented me some cool communities that I follow now. Hang in there!
Ahh you mean like a trending function? I know BlueSky has a trending function to see those new hashtags and big topics. I like using both Lemmy and BlueSky but for slightly different purposes.
Usually I’d just scroll through my already subscribed servers first here on Lemmy, and then I’d look at All sorted by Active for what big right now for all topics, after that I sort by Hot to get a glance of content that’s rising. I don’t usually search that much unless it’s a new topic I want to read more about like recipes, most recently.
There might be a trending function here, but I haven’t been around long enough to know for sure. Hopefully this helps a bit! I’m sure someone more knowledgeable can help give a more in-depth answer.
You’re welcome! Ya that’s more for all stuff, not just memes. I see what you’re saying though, cause what if a new meme page comes out for X topic. You likely won’t have the new meme page recommended to you.
Maybe there is a server recommendation tool built in somewhere? But I don’t know if there’s one that would catch new servers to recommended like for a new show’s meme page. To feel that would mean they have some kind of algorithmic recommendations feature, but I don’t think I’ve seen something like that.

Just open TikTok! Now your problem is solved, as well as mine.

This is about memes

Thanks! That’s related to all stuff, not memes, right?
