My "subscribed" feed is flooded with one community (lemmy.world)

Hey, I'm subscribed to a variety of communities in different instances (my "home" instance is lemmy.world) all of them with varying degrees of activity but some nonetheless, when I enter the "subscribed" feed, all is overwhelmingly populated by one community. I guess its because this community is way bigger than the others and it overshadows the post coming from others. As its understandable i would like this feed to be more of a mix of all the c/ that I follow, so i guess my question is, Is there a new sorting algorithm in the works? Is it a feature its being worked on? Or is this by design and it will stay this way? Also, is this something that an instance can change on its own? I know lemmy is open source and that probably the host could change something like this but maybe it breaks the activitypub protocol something, I don't know.

I am seeing the same thing. I saw in another post that you can only see content from other communities after someone from your home instance has subscribed to it.

I created a 2nd account on a different instance, subscribed to nothing on both, and filtered by all>hot for both, and sure enough the content I see is way different. Some posts I can't even find on my other account when I search for it.
