I gotta say, I respect what Lemmy does and hope it succeeds, and I think it's a good place for discussions and such (and I will remain), but good god if this place isn't unfunny as hell. I'm struggling real hard to find some place with actually funny content on here, which leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics.

I think c/lemmyshitpost quite funny, at least the posts itself, not sure about the comment-section...

Fair enough I think it's also way to overloaded with the depressing evolution of american politics...

Aye People, recommend me some funny communities!

It's better than it was a year ago so hopefully with more ex-Redditors it'll diversify even more

One of the problems with the way federation currently works is if I block US politics on one instance, I still get it en masse from other instances.

Before activity pub, all that duplication of threads would’ve been handled by moderators merging them together. Actually, it wouldn’t even have been so necessary since userscan see the existing thread and just post underneath that.

When blocking a community, we really need a check box to allow us to block the same community on all instances.

I mean, there are communities for funny stuff, but at least speaking of the ones I stumble upon on my main feed, a significant portion of the funny posts is rather old/recycled. Could be just my feed, though.

Unless there are communities I've missed, all the bigger communities post stuff one degree removed from advice animals. Maybe I need to look for the smaller communities
