Sounds like you've been looking at All:Hot.
Re-sort by New, scroll, subscribe to communities you like, and then look at Subscribed.
more than everyone screaming at politics and billionaires
We also have Linux, LOTR and Star Trek.
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
in addition to what people said, if you don't find what you want, post it.
a lot of the smaller and niche comms won't have as many posters.
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
First post: I can't tell a fitted bed sheet from a flat one. Jeeeeeesus fucking Christ on toast.
!cat@lemmy.world of course.
There's a fox one too! I don't remember the instance though.
Edit: !foxes@lemmy.world
.world has all the animals. !dogs@lemmy.world too
Lot's of non-political subs here, use the search feature and browse.
Start with !cat@lemmy.world
Also, please post other things! The reason the majority of the content is politics is because that's what's being posted.
!tenforward@lemmy.world 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
Check out the community list on slrpnk.net
You don't need an account there, you can sub those communities from your current account.
You need to start by subscribing to communities you like. Then blcok user you don't like.
The key is to make some sweeping community and instance blocks right off the bat. Then it's a tolerable platform.
Made a post saying the same thing got slammed and downvoted and shit all over. Goodluck. I'm with you.
You need to block the political subs. At least the ones constantly posting tabloids or reposting Twitter ragebait.
Even thenβ¦ yeah. Itβs a major problem for Lemmy/Piefed. There are cat subs, but niches feel buried these days.
It's new but if you enjoyed reddits BoRU there's !bestofinternetupdates@lemmy.world
You can join us over at !nolawns@slrpnk.net we could use more voices
