Does anyone else feel the general lemmy instances are noise? (kbin.social)

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.

Umm, you can turn off federation and get a local feed with a single click/tap. On desktop, the switch is on the home page at the top of the right hand column. It looks like 3 dots connected in a triangle with curved lines.

On mobile I guess it is at the bottom.

Ah thanks for the tip. That's not the same as what I was wanting, but it's closer!
