Seems like a you problem. My cooking community is doing well.
Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking?
DelilahBlack@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoYes, but it’s predominantly if not all news and politics or political ideological soap box posts or posts about defecation drama and instance infighting.
Just after having used Lemmy for 3 years, all it really is, is a small platform, for people create a small space to we’re the can freely be hateful and shitty and hostile to opposite political side that they hate.
It’s so they can experience feeling powerful over who they hate. In a sense, it’s their where of serving ‘justice’ keeping people out, defederating, is purposeful and habitual. It makes sense to me honestly, keeping Lemmy small, it’s easier to control and to continue to be able to have a place where they hate who they hate.
It’s annoying when ppl try to act like that isn’t going on at all. Like get real lol are you blind ? That out of touch?
Just be honest about it. Be truthful to what you’re really doing people value honesty not deceit.
I don’t think growing Lemmy is ideal for those folks. Because then you’d have all kinds of different people with all kinds of different perspectives who will call them out and disagree with them.
Then that would make them the minority and they do not want that. The way people behave on here is extreme.
I’ve been using Lemmy frequently lately and I found myself telling myself “Go on reddit today don’t go on lemmy. You need a break from all the extreme constant politics”
I don’t engage in politics online at all for a while.
But that’s all what is posted and talked about here and it’s not interesting and I don’t care about it.
There’s no light hearted fun silly cool niche interesting happy or positive shit here. Everyone is angry and political and people are not interested in that.

Tbf you are on an instance that federates with a lot of very political instances (like hexbear and lemmygrad). If you want less politics and a more curated feed, maybe go to an instance that defederates from such instances.

That + mostly sticking to my subscriptions (coincidentally, none of them tech or politics) makes it feel like I’m on a completely different Lemmy

I’ve seen more than enough in your matrix chat with other admins to know you’re full of it.
Also
Don’t direct message telling me to block your instance because you don’t want anymore down votes.
Who tf do you think you are internet boy ? I don’t care that you are an admin, I don’t fucking answer to you.

This happened to me too. What I ended up doing was extensively muting communities that made any political posts in my feed and using a keyword filter (Sync supports this). My blocked words include Linux, Trump, Democrats, etc… Now my feed is mostly memes

Crazy right ? Yes so far I’ve done that in reddit pretty good. I cut it out real quick. If I see any political word or name I mute it. Cause it will just keep on going. So reddit experience has gotten better bc of that.
With lemmy I’m constantly blocking most communities. What’s weird though is I feel like I’ve already blocked certain communities and they keep popping back up.
I also use a few lemmy clients. So idk if the blocks are synced and carry over to each app.
From what I have seen, some apps do, and some do not. I think that is a factor for sure
