How to make subscribed feed more diversed? (lemmy.world)

Hi guys, I'm on lemmy since the reddit api announcement and am subscribed to tens of communities. When I'm setting my feed to watch topics only from Subscribed communities (hot/active), I see a lot of topics from the same communities, like 10 topics in a row from 1 community then 3 from a different one and again from the first one. My point is that I want to get diversed topic from all subscribed communities ( I know there are new and hot topics there) and not seeing repeated communities only. Is there a way to make some communities show less topics or make the feed more diverse (other than I subscribe to the loud ones) ?

I consume my Subscribed feed first.
When I have seen enough there but still want more, I go to the All feed.
With good luck, I find new communities and subscribe to those. That improves my Subscribed feed, see step 1.
with bad luck, I find a lot of crap in the All feed. When I notice recurring annoying communities, I go to their sidebar and block them. That improves my All feed, see step 2.
