I came to Lemmy cause Reddit went to shit, so I get that people want to bash it and I also understand that most of the users of Lemmy are from the US and the shit show that’s happening there right now, but I am absolutely tired of these 2 types of posts being the only thing in my feed, I open this app because I want to learn new interesting things, and maybe see some funny and creative stuff, there’s enough negativity and stress in my life and I don’t need more of that on my only social media app. How do I filter these topics from my feed and which communities can I join to improve my feed.
Just like Reddit, you need to curate your feed. Don’t browser all/local, browse your subscriptions. Here’s a list of subs that aren’t political https://lemmy.world/post/16327122 - subscribe to ones that interest you.
Also feel free to liberally block communities. It’s trivial to do.
