I also did not come here for politics.

I came here as an alternative to reddit.

What I did to fix it was to find similar Lemmy communities to those subreddits. I also set up filtering to block out key words, names, etc.

It makes it a lot more bearable.

One thing I’ve noticed, Lemmy and Reddit are run in a large part by content bots when it comes to non-politics. There are some exceptions. I recommend you make peace with the bots and appreciate the content (all the while contributing content yourself of course).
