Personally I don't think I've noticed this. Things devolving into political discussions, sure, but that's par for the course with social media I imagine. I had assumed you meant the prevalence of Linux stuff on the all feed.

No I mean the prevalence of Linux on c/memes, on c/mildlyinfuriating, c/programmerhumor, anywhere but Linux and Linux memes which are specifically designated for that content.

If you haven't seen it on the comments of every possible thread you're either wearing blinders or willfully ignorant. You can't go three comments down on a single post anywhere without someone mentioning Linux and then the whole thread is Linux from there.

I would fully expect Linux content on any community dedicated to technology (i.e. programmerhumor); the rest is totally understandable. Though, I have to agree with @CarbonIceDragon, I really don't see as much Linux content as you seem to - granted I use kbin, not lemmy.

I've read that Lemmy is a bit more personally curated than kbin, is it possible you've just accidentally built yourself a Linux bubble?

Fair enough on programmer humor, but no I don't think I've built any kind of bubble. I only subscribe to those two aforementioned Linux communities, everything else is just bleed over. My feed is pretty well rounded to match what I had going on over at reddit.
