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).

Yet, it feels like an uphill battle.

In a way, it is. It's also much further uphill if you consider it a solo task. These are absolutely valid things to vent about, even if they are solvable.

(I felt a lot more like this before the reddit API exodus)

Here is a list of keywords that I filter out. I also block all political content communities.

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.
