I really want to like Lemmy (lemmy.world)

I hate big tech controlling social media. I desperately want social media to be federated.

I really love community-driven social media like Reddit. Lemmy feels… too small. I really loved that Reddit let me jump into any niche hobby, and instantly I had a community. Lemmy, you’ll be lucky if that community even exists, and if it does, chances are nobody has posted in ages.

On the other hand, Lemmy is full of political content lately. I’ve basically been doom scrolling everything US election-related, and it’s really starting to take a toll on my mental health.

I know I can filter content. I know I can post and be the change I seek. Yet, it feels like an uphill battle.

Not sure what the point of this is, or if it’s even the right community to vent about this. I just really want to replace Reddit, but I find myself going back more and more (e.g. r/homekit is very active compared to Lemmy version).

I have really been enjoying Comic Strips. There can be some political content, but there's plenty of other interesting and funny stuff too.

Rather than trying to replace something else, it's a good idea to look for what's new to you.

Does lemmy have flairs? Would be useful if they had a mandatory flair for objectionable content

Post the content and you'll get some engagement. I've posted in niche subs here like Begleris, lockpicking, Balisongs and got engagement. So I don't know what to tell you but to post whatever.

politics and technology. that's most of what you'll find here, at least now. I'm hoping more specific/niche communities will come online soon here. I'd start my own page, but I'm a bit too busy to maintain it at the moment.

Lemmy is full of political content lately.

Block lemmy.world politics and news subs, those people are deranged idiots larping too much DNC koolaid.

It will clear your feed for other less active subs that really need more posting and commenting.
