It’s been a while since I’ve been on reddit so I thought I’d browse some of my old fav subs that haven’t really migrated to lemmy. These are mostly queer subs along the line of r/actuallesbians and r/tgcj.
I noticed that these subs were suspiciously missing from my front page. There’s still plenty of activity on these subs and they used to show up on my feed all the time, but now I can’t find a single post on my page. I have to actually go out and manually open up the subs.
I know that Reddit kept queer subs out of the Reddit Recap a while back, but this is on a whole 'nother level. Either some background setting has changed and that’s the reason I don’t see my favorite subs anymore, or Reddit has just started cracking down on queer communities again. Either way, disgusting.
reddit doesn’t dare put anything out in the open that might offend advertisers, and being LGBTQ is now “controversial” in the current news supercycle, so bye bye it getting disappeared.
also Pig Boy Huffman is a blue-eyed blond-haired affluenza nazi who thinks he’ll be a slave owner in the coming apocalypse, so like, it’s totally on brand for him to try and suppress The Gays as well.
So true, and so sad. I used to like reddit. It.s dead to me now. Long live the fediverse
Subs appearing on your front page is based on how often you visit them so going to them should fix it. There are other factors in the algorithm that I dont quite know or understand , but I do know there are some esoteric and weird subs that make my front page a lot but only do because I click them often.
I noticed during and after the big protest where subs shut down that it lead to my front page becoming totally different and some subs that I forgot I even subscribed to bubbled up to the surface and this remained the same after things started coming back online again.
Yup that’s been my experience. Sometimes I’ll visit subs that I forgot existed, that I’m subbed to. Next thing I know, those posts from that sub will keep showing up on my frontpage. And then they’ll eventually falloff and get replaced if I don’t go back.
Lately, because I’m only really going on reddit for specific things that I can’t find on Lemmy or Tildes, my frontpage is mainly posts from those specific subs.
Noticed the same thing the last time I logged on. For me, my feed was primarily queer subs and subs relating to philosophy and religion. The explicitly religious subs (Christianity, Hinduism, etc) were still there, but the subs related to philosophy, occult, other niche topics, were much less heavily featured, and the queer subs were just gone.
This made me check r/traa and it seems they never forced it back open which is very telling. They forced the tiniest subs back open but I guess they never wanted us on the site.
We have here now and each other. This is home
I can not confirm this, I see posts from a variety of queer subs I’m still subbed to.
If you are subbed to too many subreddits I think reddit only shows a limited number of subreddits in the feed at once depending on what you interact with and gradually swaps out the ones you don’t. That might be what happened, anecdotal evidence tho
What a bunch of bastards… More reason to never go back I guess.
Still showing on my home, but basically all of my activity has been LGBTQ+ subs and fuckcars (which is currently using LGBT+ flag in its profile pic and also not advertiser friendly). Does seem weird some of the trans subs aren’t near the top while a lot of the aroace subs seem to be overrepresented compared to my activity in the 6 months prior to blackout…
I agree, fuck cars
