It seems like you're confusing general recommendation algorithms like Google News/discover that suggests content you might like based on your perceived interests with a forum/link aggregator that ranks content based on time, upvotes and on your literal subscriptions.
Reddit didn't have this feature because that's not how the system works.
How do you propose to do a "show less like this" referring to recommended content when Lemmy does not "recommend" anything at all.
It wouldn't need to be fancy. Could literally be "automatically hide every second post from this community".
Or just "count upvotes from posts from this community as half" when sorting posts by Hot. Maybe calculating the score of a post from both the points and the size of the community so that posts from smaller communities are visible too.
Weighting by community, so my feed isnt completely overrun by cats and I see enough Norwegian death metal crochet posts
Feed overrun by cats.... What's the problem?
As a reddit transplant (aren't we all?) I'm going to be avoiding cat subreddits entirely. Not that I don't like them, it just opens the floodgates for me to subscribe to all of them and I'll be back to square zero.
