Does anyone else feel like Lemmy has more of what you don't want to see, While Reddit has more Communities you actually do want to see ?

Ok so not sure about anyone else, but, I look for new communities by browsing all. I'd say, 90 percent of what I see, I am not interested in.
While there are communities I am interested in on lemmy they are not active. So there are some options, but no activity.
While reddit, has a plethora of active communities that I find interesting and discover them often by reddits suggest feature.
Two things to take into account.
I'm assuming reddit has a algorithm and that helps with that ?
While lemmy does not, and it is heavily dependent on the user base if that makes sense.
I feel like, reddit covers EVERYTHING. It doesn't just cover interest a certain area of interest, it covers all kinds of things. Whereas with lemmy, maybe it's just me, but there is a heavy focus on only certain topics.
Anime, tech, Linux, politics, games, programming, star wars, star trek, activism, YouTube videos, news links, are predominant. Is center focus. I don't feel there is much more variety other then that. Which I kind of don't understand, because I'd think people who are here like other things also? Why are communities that aren't in those categories inactive or not here?
Anyway.
I use both reddit and lemmy but they're both very different, and scratch different itches I guess.
