How to get a bit more positivity in the Lemmy feed ? (lemm.ee)

I know a lot of shitty things are happening in the world right now. But I get this feeling that most of the posts I see in lemmy feed are sad or depressing.

Are there any uplifting communities that I'm missing out on ?

Edit1: Thanks for the suggestions everyone

The world is a pretty shitty place right now so if you follow political communities you'll get a lot of negativity.

Interest based communities tend to be more positive since we're talking about things we love (be that pets, gardens, or TTRPGs)

It is perfectly fair for you to feel unable to cope with negativity though, so feel no guilt if you just want a feed full of cat pictures.

I mostly subscribe to tech and news, which is mostly sad. I get suggestions to subscribe to Cyanide and Happiness which is supposed to be sad (I guess). Interesting suggestions, thanks 👍
