I swear my feed is like 50% Trump

Trump trump trump I’m fucking sick of it

I think this is about when you browse more than anything else. A significant portion of posts on Lemmy are posted by serial posters. If you don't browse when they post their stuff, you could think it's all us news bots

I also think it is the times we live in right now. The world is in shambles, not too weird everyone is very political motivated right now. Just wait untill times settle. Then you'll see the political interest go way down again. But yeah. I am missing reddit on the sports forum part. There is dead.

I mean it depends on what subs you subscribe to; my subscribed feed is mostly tech, history, and wholesome news.

But politics will tend to bubble up because gestures around

Drop some cool memes into lemmy and make it better for all of us.

Ironically, due the nature of the language used in their complaint and its similarity to psychological operations conducted by COINTELPRO, @OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml seems "shallow and politically motivated".

Everything is politics. Avoiding thinking about or discussing consequential things is a political position which is well served almost everywhere else on the internet.

I had to block countless politic communities by hand. Now I see a normal amount of posts, and not just that.

Also, block by word like 'Elon', 'Musk', 'Trump' etc...

I think the big thing is you being on .ml, this is an explicitly communist server and as such is gonna have alot of focus on those topics

Change your instance. A lot of the content you see will depend on the instance you are in. ML is notorious for politics and I'm leaving it at that.

But also keep in mind politics are an important part of life and it's impossible to fully remove that. Especially with a tense political climate as it is right now.

Lemmy is part of the fediverse. On the fediverse you are your own algorithm. So either you have curated your feed to be very political or you're on the local feed of your instance, which has a lot of political posts. But you signed up there.

Either way, you're there by choice. Curate your own feed. I get lots of stuff that isn't political. Just keep in mind you don't get reddit user numbers over here so not every niche nonpolitical subject has found a viable community. Yet.

Try other instances. No one forbids you from creating new accounts and explore other instances. And no one prohibits you from leaving completely lemmy.ml either.

Not enough people that aren't interested in politics present here to engage more actively in non-political communities. Lemmy or PieFed still haven't reached even 1 million of users. While Reddit in glory days had dozens of millions users(not bots).

Every time I see a politics news or comic or meme I block that community. It's great my entire feed is fun stuff and cool art

When was the reddit exodus?

If I can frame this a different way — I wish interest-driven discovery had a little less friction on lemmy/in fediverse. I don’t assume it’s not there. I just haven’t found it yet.
