I came to Lemmy cause Reddit went to shit, so I get that people want to bash it and I also understand that most of the users of Lemmy are from the US and the shit show that’s happening there right now, but I am absolutely tired of these 2 types of posts being the only thing in my feed, I open this app because I want to learn new interesting things, and maybe see some funny and creative stuff, there’s enough negativity and stress in my life and I don’t need more of that on my only social media app. How do I filter these topics from my feed and which communities can I join to improve my feed.

    Those are the most popular posts. I recommend trying to find communities that you like and subscribing to them, then read the subscribed feed.

      I recommend finding communities you don’t like and blocking those, then browse the all feed. Otherwise you get 3 posts a week.

          I feel the same same way about Linux posts and pervy anime. Blocking communities is how lemmy dispenses dopamine.

        There’s also “hide this post” and “hide all viewed posts” but you have to actually click on them ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
