I tried not opening Lemmy the last few weeks because of the flood of American politics. I'm sure many people felt the same.
Do you use all or subscribe to things? I have a good list of communities and I honestly don't see much if any politics
All, yes. And I have blocked most of the communities that call themselves "News" or similar, but almost only post US politics as news. Yet it still trickles down into other communities.
Try going the other route, and explicitly subscribing to content you enjoy. From what I read you aren't alone, that all is a firehouse and it's not all fun. Subscribed to me is a much chiller experience
This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn't previously know about to add to my collection.
But it's true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.
Amazing way to approach it!
Just a wee bit afraid there would be just porn left after applying the "subscribe to me" rule 😉
