    My feelings about Lemmy lately. This sub is fine, but I really should stop browsing “local” or “all” or all the general meme subs …

      Welcome to Lemmy, we have:

      • Communities about Western politics (mostly US if we’re being honest)
      • News communities, mostly about Western politics
      • Memes communities!!! (Actually Western politics, sorry)
      • Regional communities which are, you guessed it, mostly about Western politics
      • Technology communities, actually Western Big Tech politics
      • Gaming communities, yeah, big corpos again, did you expect anything else?

      I carved out my own little bubble of interesting communities on “subbed” and don’t venture outside into the wastes of doomscrolling anymore!

      Honestly have no idea how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.

        how new people will find their way to Lemmy when the default feed is so disgusting.

        they … don’t

        that’s kinda the problem. i wanted to show lemmy to somebody today, and at first glance they found it nice, but the content is a bit … toxic. i think there should be a custom listing scheme (the thing where you see “subscribed, local, all”). it should provide custom listings that are maybe per-topic or sth (i’m not sure how this would work yet) and you can easily select “no politics pls” listing.

          Piefed has custom listings actually like this for example!

          In general, I would not suggest Lemmy in general but instead certain instances with presentable local feeds (blahaj zone, mander xyz).

            That’s a good thought, actually!

      For me personally, the local feed on blahaj.zone works great and gives me exactly what I want. So I recommend finding an instance that fits your interests more.

        i wish lemmy had custom listings (by topic or by language or whatever) so you’re not confined to the “local” stuff from your local instance or having to subscribe to every single community that you maybe find interesting manually.

        so there’d be not only “subscribed, local, all” but sth like “subscribed, local, cute stuff from other instances, all”
