No content is being pushed to anyone, Lemmy's algorithms are very simple. It's just there's a lot of it.
You can unsubscribe from or block the politics and news communities, especially worldnews, and it should get rid of a lot of it. I find the experience to be better when subscribing to the stuff you want rather than remove the stuff you don't want.
Not sure if Voyager exposes such a setting (probably?), but on Tesseract I'd do something like this:
it does, for those who want to limit political posts on Voyager here's how
settings -> filters & blocks -> add keyword
Add stuff like 'MAGA, Trump, Elon' etc.
If you still get political posts from political subs block the sub, if it's not from a political sub see if you could add any new keywords from the title.
However this isn't always going to work, there's always going to be posts that done have anything political in the title but do in the image/post and come from a non-political sub but these steps will cut out most of them.
I'm not on the same act, but I will say I tried this to little avail.
