Why is my home feed on lemmy and kbin filled with posts about beans? Where did this recent obsession come from?

    I think it’s mostly, if not completely (at least on my end), coming from shitpost related communities.

    I’m seeing all of my bean posts specifically come from lemmyshitposts.

    Also random, but my city’s subreddit last year actually founded a bean club online and then had monthly IRL meet ups where they would bring bean cans to trade.

      The Lemmy front page algorithm still isn’t very good. Which results in a lot of shit post quality posts jumping to the top of the “hot” sorting.

          I love it as well. It’s great to see the insanity before I switch to my subscribed feed lol. People complaining just need to learn how to manage their feed and enjoy the beans.

      If I wasn’t wrinkly and old I would shut down lemmy with a naked pic holding a can of beans.
