Same for me, which strikes me as a fundamental problem with the platform that once one community blows up it drowns out the others

Could do with some balancing algorithm that soft caps the ratio of posts from a single community that get shown on any given page

All the more reason to make more posts in other instances to flood the feeds with more diversity.
