Engagement and creation of worthwhile content. Memes are fine, but it's junk food. The more meaty content that creates engagement and discussion, the better.

Controversy also creates discussion, but drives out quality.

Post news from quality sources, educational content, breaking stories, and ESPECIALLY good, fun, discussion and content around hobbies.

Meme communities spamming the feeds is a big issue.

I automatically block most meme communities, there's almost never anything worthwhile to them, just pointless nonsense.

I do admit to keeping one or two of the really niche ones around, like risa@startrek.website

!risa@startrek.website also doesn't post an overwhelming amount like the other meme sub (which I can't recall because I have it blocked).

Another bonus of that community, actual discussions about the shows in the comments. Well, sometimes.

I really wish they'd have some type of tagging system. I've blocked so many anime communities. I wish Lemmy would let me just ban that tag instead of playing wack-a-mole.

I feel that way about Star Trek and Star Wars. And LOTR. Also, that one crappy cartoonist who's basically the modern Cathy.
