Don’t people have any hobbies, passions, or anything better to talk about? Politics and news are such boring conversations, full of intentional outrage and strife. I sure wish that we as an online community could break away from the divisive machinations of the disreputable media.
You don’t get to say “we as a community” after judging everyone and demanding everything to change to accommodate your personal preferences.
Like it or not, news and politics are important topics. Block the communities sharing and discussing those if you don’t want to see that.
I don’t recall demanding anything to change, let alone “everything”.
Some people like politics, some people like computers, some people like makeup, some people like rock climbing. Why do you care what someone likes?
It’s not that I care what people like, it’s surprise that politics is so massively over-represented compared to other interests in the all feed. I was hoping to stumble across some new interesting communities, but it’s almost all bad news and politics, but I repeat myself.
Why are you subscribed to news and politics communities if you don’t want to see any of that content? Or, why don’t you just block those communities? Are you suggesting those communities just shouldn’t exist? Don’t make the rest of the fediverse cater to your whims because you’re too lazy to curate your own feed.
There are lots of hobby communities, art, music, games, mechanical keyboards, fancy pens, gardening, birding, I could go on…
I find new hobby communities often on All. There’s also a community for announcing new communities, that might help you round out your interests.
If you go on the Lemmy website you can browse a never ending list of communities (some apps may also have this? Idk). And more are added every day. Lemmy is still young and growing. Have patience. Or don’t, I’m not the boss of you.

I normally do stick to my subscribed feed. I was hoping to discover new communities, but it’s almost all news and politics.
