It seems like no matter how I scroll I find bad news. I know lots of things are happening but I just want funny memes and interesting stories.

I used to be able to get this back in the day on the Reddit app feed, but here the all page is always just depressing stuff. Back then, there was news and stuff but like it felt more balanced in the all feed. I could get bad stuff but lots of interesting stuff too .

I find myself engaging less and less and just avoiding Lemmy more and more since I know the moment I open it I’ll get whacked with more depressing stuffs.

I don’t want politics or world news or really even memes about that stuff anymore. Heck even tech news is depressing. I just want simple scrolling of fun content. Idk it’s just hard to describe.

Does anyone else feel this way about their Lemmy experience?

I remember an old post about someone getting AM radio from their sink (probably from Reddit back in the day). That type of stuff is so much cooler than my feed.

To that end: any recommended active communities on Lemmy with that type of stuff?

    i blocked every single news and politics communities, as well as all the “*** infuriating” ones, it has drastically improved the content of my timeline :)

        sure, but i feel we can’t escape “news” anyway, so i don’t mind having less of it in one place

            Less content ≠ less procrastination

            And?

            English is not my first language (so, looking at your pseudo, by all means help me improve my grammar my dear officer) but it seemed to me the OP was looking to remove some crap from their timeline, not to procrastinate less:

              Yeah, but in response to OP’s post i made the comment that there’s less content for me to procrastinate with. I’m mainly referring to myself
