Don't people have any hobbies, passions, or anything better to talk about? Politics and news are such boring conversations, full of intentional outrage and strife. I sure wish that we as an online community could break away from the divisive machinations of the disreputable media.
There are lots of hobby communities, art, music, games, mechanical keyboards, fancy pens, gardening, birding, I could go on...
I find new hobby communities often on All. There's also a community for announcing new communities, that might help you round out your interests.
If you go on the Lemmy website you can browse a never ending list of communities (some apps may also have this? Idk). And more are added every day. Lemmy is still young and growing. Have patience. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
It's not that I care what people like, it's surprise that politics is so massively over-represented compared to other interests in the all feed. I was hoping to stumble across some new interesting communities, but it's almost all bad news and politics, but I repeat myself.
Block the news and politics communities as you encounter them. Should improve the feed for you significantly. It's happy to work with you, but you have to tell it what you want.
Why are you subscribed to news and politics communities if you don’t want to see any of that content? Or, why don’t you just block those communities? Are you suggesting those communities just shouldn’t exist? Don’t make the rest of the fediverse cater to your whims because you’re too lazy to curate your own feed.
