I do very few things explicitly, I just punish self-similarity in a very specific way. I guess posts with actual text in the body are just more unique, given all previous posts on the instance.
Maybe using the filtered posts as a base in combination with some client side keyword blocking will be useful? The keyword blocking would be much more individual for each user.
The political posts thing is interesting. So far, mainly news posts with text descriptions remain on the front page (which I personally prefer over the memes, but that's just my preference). I am having a hard time deciding if I actually find them interesting though.. ^^ I think I actually prefer it over my reddit homepage, there tends to be much of the same, usually.
Yeah, that's one of the potential issues that I'm currently looking out for. So far the main thing I can tell is that memes get removed like crazy (https://lemmy.coffee/c/memes@lemmy.world?dataType=Post&sort=New) and the posts on the homepage are generally much less meme-intensive when compared to instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml.
I added the larger communities before starting to remove posts, so there may be historical posts still hanging around. Maybe everything from BuyFromEU was deleted?
