My "subscribed" feed is flooded with one community (lemmy.world)

Hey, I'm subscribed to a variety of communities in different instances (my "home" instance is lemmy.world) all of them with varying degrees of activity but some nonetheless, when I enter the "subscribed" feed, all is overwhelmingly populated by one community. I guess its because this community is way bigger than the others and it overshadows the post coming from others. As its understandable i would like this feed to be more of a mix of all the c/ that I follow, so i guess my question is, Is there a new sorting algorithm in the works? Is it a feature its being worked on? Or is this by design and it will stay this way? Also, is this something that an instance can change on its own? I know lemmy is open source and that probably the host could change something like this but maybe it breaks the activitypub protocol something, I don't know.

Might be a good idea to unsubscribe from the default lemmy.world community for the time being. It's clearly blown up and is drowning my feed too. Right now I'm deciding to cope with it.

I've also unsubscribed from /c/memes as it must have exploded in popularity compared to when I first arrived here in 2020.

Sometimes we have to curate our feeds ourselves, unfortunately.
