Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It’s so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It’s always been this way.
Do different Lemmy servers have different content?
Are certain severs curated?
Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.
This is a bit, right?
I find Lemmy to have barely any politics. I’m new to Lemmy though. If you haven’t been on Reddit lately, go visit that propaganda machine.
When was the reddit exodus?
Because all media is political
Sorry, everything is politics not just on lemmy
Besides politics it’s mostly technology, and humour. That’s basically because only a very specific person has chosen to be on Lemmy at this point.
Here’s a couple at random that are humour:
!antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world
!reallyshittycopper@lemmy.world
And here’s a couple that are something else:
You’ll notice it’s mostly .world, because that’s by far the biggest instance, and also not very political.
I wish r/highqualitygifs would migrate to Lemmy.
“why do people care so much about the possibility of nuclear war? why is this hitler guy so controversial? so disgusting!”
You can’t find depth and deep subject matter in politics? Sounds like a you problem
So you fled one billionaire-owned political echo chamber for an open-source lefty platform only to realize you actually just miss cat pics and woodworking tutorials.
Boring and disgusting? Sounds like you just don’t agree with lefty politics.
You can curate your own feed: use the block button for any communities you don’t want to see.
As for why there’s a lot of politics on lemmy: The west’s leading country just threatened to annihalate an entire civilization yesterday. Kind of a lot going on right now.
lemmy was created by the people who used to inhabit r/politics; r/socialism; r/communism; r/linux; and r/foss and they coalesced around lemmy.ml
lemmy.world has the bread-and-circuses that you’re looking for.

Yes. Along with all the rabid pro-western propaganda, chauvanism, unexamined privilege, and the insufferable confidence in mistaking naivete and ignorance for common knowledge. You know, all the stuff that should make you feel right at home if all you’re looking for is a reddit 2.0. Then again, there are a number of instances to choose from if that’s what you’re looking for, but .world remains the classic example.
Depends on what you define as “politics” but aside from “everything is politics”, my Lemmy feed is mostly tech stuff. Just subscribe to communities that fit your interests. That being said, many interests will be under-represented on Lemmy as I think the user base skews either technical or political or both.
Because that’s what people most engage with. On Reddit there’s a lot of politics too by the way. You’re free to create your own non-political community and create content there as well.
Because:
Most of us aren’t so privileged that we get to pretend that politics doesn’t control and shape the course of our lives.
I wish I could be as disconnected from the reality of whats happening around us as these people seem to be, genuinely envious.
I would have less anxiety, for a start.
genuinely envious
same here; i would be homeowner, married w children and with genuine retirement retirement prospects if politics did force the dissolution of my marriage; forced me to accept college debt for a useless degree; and several jobs untenable.
it’s strange to imagine myself as a capitalist. lol
