True, I also think lemmy is the main star of fediverse (peertube too) because they don't need network effect qnd milions of users.
Problem with reddit is it got too big l, similar like youtube, it always recommending me videos with milions of views and I don't like them - they are professionally done and trying to sell me something.
I just want to watch random people sharing their thoughts and hobbies.
Right now we don't have that part of the internet, but looks like it is comming back.
I think some of that is your YouTube profile, because I regularly reject recommended content on YouTube that has 250 subs or 1000 views. Mostly because it's someone who doesn't know what they're doing in terms of making an engaging video so I get super bored quick. I don't know how to tell you to change it, I do get stuff I ignore in the newpipe default list thats huge and completely uninteresting to me. But that may just be a default link, and I never go to just YouTube.com without just using it to search for a channel I like. I also don't like or subscribe as I don't really want another indicator of the channels I might watch. They can figure it out from what I load anyway.
