why is like 30% of the content on Lemmy star trek related? is it just a side effect of the particular communities I'm in or is it an actual platform-wide thing?

I think the "scaled" option does that more or less

I'm my experience the scaled sort just has the same problem only the opposite. You end up with a feed full of mostly brand new posts in empty communities.

Either a dozen posts by a moderator of one community, or a single user posting the same thing to a dozen vaguely related communities.

yeah, it's not the best. might be good to have an option that makes it so you can't get stuff from the same community more than a couple times in a row.
