Sure I’m pissed off too but Lemmy has to be more than everyone screaming at politics and billionaires. I need some balance of just topics that are not rage bait and propaganda. Are there no cat subs here?
Sounds like you’ve been looking at All:Hot.
Re-sort by New, scroll, subscribe to communities you like, and then look at Subscribed.
maybe take a gander through the list Blaze made of active communities which are not politics, news, memes or tech, there’s definitely more than that around but it is a good starting point
This is such a fantastic list, thank you for sharing! Subscribed to ten new communities just now
awesome to hear! it’s a very handy resource for sure :)
in addition to what everyone said, if you don’t find what you want, post it.
a lot of the smaller and niche comms won’t have as many people, and may not look that active.

We also have Linux, LOTR and Star Trek.
[email protected] of course.
Oh, and [email protected]
There’s a fox one too! I don’t remember the instance though.
Edit: [email protected]
.world has all the animals. [email protected] too
#1 : Dull Men’s Club
First post: I can’t tell a fitted bed sheet from a flat one. Jeeeeeesus fucking Christ on toast.
Check out the community list on slrpnk.net
You don’t need an account there, you can sub those communities from your current account.
[email protected] for a great trek community
Edit: every week or two I go to /all and if I happen to see any communities that are interesting, I follow them
You need to start by subscribing to communities you like. Then blcok user you don’t like.
Gotta filter the word “Trump”. Believe me, it won’t leave you in the dark. You’ll still get US news just not headlines that are rage bait
And the very first post has AI in big letters.
Also, please post other things! The reason the majority of the content is politics is because that’s what’s being posted.
*It’s the majority of what’s being upvoted.
There’s a lot of other content, but it tends to wither away instead of getting any engagement.
The key is to make some sweeping community and instance blocks right off the bat. Then it’s a tolerable platform.
