I only see a handful of communities posts, but miss a lot from smaller communities that aren’t as active but do get daily posts. Reddit blended in smaller communities really well and it’s something I’m struggling with here.
Have you tried playing with different sort types?
“Hot” is the best sort type imo
I actually like sorting by 'New" on fedi - it promotes engagement in new content and it’s generally decent content here as opposed to what you see in “new” on reddit…
I guess I should add that I’ve done hot, top for the day, 12 hr, new, active, etc. I have a handful of communities I’ve never seen on my feed. I have to go to them manually.
I know specifically for kbin that the topic of what shows up in what section is a point of discussion with the other devs. Getting these things to work “right” is going to be a challenge.
I like the idea of more “metrics” being used to help “weight” the search results. E.g. if you’re viewed heaps of content from “magazine A”, then content should be surfaced more from that magazine.
I think search / these collections will take a while to get into a really polished state (and it’ll change as the site grows)

I think that is the way ‘best’ works on reddit and it is the way I preferred to use that site. I agree with you that using metrics would be awesome with the added filter ‘best’.
