There should be an “all” tab or feed that you can go to on your platform - Mastodon has one, not sure about Pixelfed, and Lemmy has one too, that may give you the diversity that you’re looking for?
I’m still relatively new here so I’m not sure either. But maybe there’s a catalogue or list servers by topic out there? The search function on the Voyager app has made it pretty quick for me to find some of my favorites.
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!

That shows you everything, not only memes, right?
It’s everything your instance is aware of, yes.

This is about memes
