First of all I want to say how much I love the app and the daily updates. Every time it gets better and better.

Recently I’ve noticed my feed has become almost entirely the main meme instance. The algorithm gives me 4 meme posts then a technology post then load more memes and then maybe a few other of the big instances abs then more posts from l/meme. There’s no variety or fair selection to my subscriptions, only memes because they have the most upvotes??

I get a completely different and arguably better feed of posts when I use Memmy so I believe this is voyager related.

Anyone else have this?

Yes, same issue, and I'm using lemmy-ui...

Lemmy's backend Top/Active/Hot are pretty primitive. I'm experimenting with some ways to weigh smaller less-popular communities... because +20 vote on meme topics is noise, but +20 on some focused community can be a big deal. hot_rank doesn't take that into account and just looks at published date and score. It's pretty tricky to get new things into the backend, so it may be a while.
