100% - between the slop, the propoganda, the 'native advertising, the 'blocked by network security' on old.reddit and the indians (I love indian culture btw, but I do not relate and am not 'in' on any of the memes anddddd it mostly appears to be indian teens) reddit has really lost me forever. On a slow day on lemmy I pop over and within like 5 minutes that tab is toast.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

SO IT ABSOLUTELY IS HAPPENING! I thought it was happening to me because I was an Indian, but no, every fucking person is seeing this shit. And no these Indian subs are weird man, they feel so much rage baity, or trying to karma farm. I have been active on reddit for 8 ish years, Indian subs weren't like that. Some were, but it was mostly contained in pockets of reddit, it wasn't the whole reddit experience.
Absolutely. It would make sense but reddit is supposed to have different popular feeds for different countries... so either they're shit at programming that or they're doing the "purposeful enshittification of the UX" tactic
one in six people are indian. it's probably more likely that indian subs and topics are gathering steam.
But are you an Indian and seeing Indian subreddits or are you non Indian and seeing Indian subreddits
I'm a non-Indian! In the UK.
Also, I agree with what you said (in another comment) that some of the subs have questionable, rage-baiting, attitudes - I believe other people commented on this in other subs (maybe r/redscarepod or r/fauxmoi)
