maybe take a gander through the list Blaze made of active communities which are not politics, news, memes or tech, there's definitely more than that around but it is a good starting point
This is such a fantastic list, thank you for sharing! Subscribed to ten new communities just now
awesome to hear! it's a very handy resource for sure :)
more than everyone screaming at politics and billionaires
We also have Linux, LOTR and Star Trek.
#1 : Dull Men's Club
First post: I can't tell a fitted bed sheet from a flat one. Jeeeeeesus fucking Christ on toast.
isn't it the last post -at time of writing- ?? ;)
Yes. I meant the top of the feed, first you see at the time. I subscribed anyway though.
!cat@lemmy.world of course.
Oh, and !bats@lemmy.world
There's a fox one too! I don't remember the instance though.
Edit: !foxes@lemmy.world
.world has all the animals. !dogs@lemmy.world too
in addition to what people said, if you don't find what you want, post it.
a lot of the smaller and niche comms won't have as many posters.
!tenforward@lemmy.world for a great trek community
Edit: every week or two I go to /all and if I happen to see any communities that are interesting, I follow them
Check out the community list on slrpnk.net
You don't need an account there, you can sub those communities from your current account.
Also, please post other things! The reason the majority of the content is politics is because that's what's being posted.
*Itβs the majority of whatβs being upvoted.
Thereβs a lot of other content, but it tends to wither away instead of getting any engagement.
The key is to make some sweeping community and instance blocks right off the bat. Then it's a tolerable platform.
You need to start by subscribing to communities you like. Then blcok user you don't like.
Gotta filter the word "Trump". Believe me, it won't leave you in the dark. You'll still get US news just not headlines that are rage bait
And the very first post has AI in big letters.
I'm not sure if you're trying to imply that pmjv is an AI evangelist. Maybe look at the content of you're not familiar.
What'd you call me?
That's actually pretty fair. I thought the fediverse should foster nieche c/ it would keep people on lemmy longer because they enjoy popular memes as well as specialized interests.
I want to say AMA communities but I tainted that with rage bait and only a few posts a month. 196 communities can be fun they're chill 99% of the time, but they don't take criticism too well.
You need to block the political subs. At least the ones constantly posting tabloids or reposting Twitter ragebait.
Even thenβ¦ yeah. Itβs a major problem for Lemmy/Piefed. There are cat subs, but niches feel buried these days.
Made a post saying the same thing got slammed and downvoted and shit all over. Goodluck. I'm with you.
