I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
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).
