I feel the opposite, my feed is almost entirely people describing how the world is falling apart, how communism is good but not that communism, and Linux

    Absolutely, lemmy has such a downer vibe to it, it’s not doing me any good using this platform lately.

    We need more jokes around Lemmy, this is all communism this and that gays blahblahblah trump yapyapyap, holy cow. Sometimes I can't help but doomscroll on Reddit, missing the community and the jokes and the friends I had there.

    You have control over what you see in your feeds. I was talking more about the volume in content on my feeds here. Could've worded my post better.

    I'm spending more time away from social media.
