I’m an amateur musician and music producer for some obscure genres. I made a Reddit account just for some specific musical subreddits that either aren’t present on Lemmy or aren’t active enough to be useful.
Instead, my feed is just total trash subreddits that I didn’t ask for, because “people in my area” subscribe to them.
You should have used old.reddit.com on the desktop. Hell, same goes for lemmy; if they have an old.* interface, it’s much better than the ‘modern’ shit everyone is using. Not every website needs to look like a tiktok/twitter ripoff.
