Is there a way to have a less depressing Lemmy experience?
Is there a way to have a less depressing Lemmy experience?
It seems like no matter how I scroll I find bad news. I know lots of things are happening but I just want funny memes and interesting stories.
I used to be able to get this back in the day on the Reddit app feed, but here the all page is always just depressing stuff. Back then, there was news and stuff but like it felt more balanced in the all feed. I could get bad stuff but lots of interesting stuff too .
I find myself engaging less and less and just avoiding Lemmy more and more since I know the moment I open it I'll get whacked with more depressing stuffs.
I don't want politics or world news or really even memes about that stuff anymore. Heck even tech news is depressing. I just want simple scrolling of fun content. Idk it's just hard to describe.
Does anyone else feel this way about their Lemmy experience?
I remember an old post about someone getting AM radio from their sink (probably from Reddit back in the day). That type of stuff is so much cooler than my feed.
To that end: any recommended active communities on Lemmy with that type of stuff?
You're viewing a single thread.
You have to block A LOT of communities. In fact, blocking communities is more important than subscribing to them!

Also: Voyager (or other apps) with filters for keywords.

I browse Subscribed. Whitelisting communities is almost certainly going to be a lot more aggressive than browsing All and blacklisting communities.
True actually. Browsing Subscribed is better than All. Although, you have to venture out into All to find new communities to subscribe to.
I also found switching between Hot and Active sorts mixes things up.
Agreed. I block several communities a day.
Same. I try to always block at least 3 new sports team channels before breakfast, so that the sport ball updates don't completely overwhelm my brief trips into all.
I love that this is a great place for local sports, but it's not my thing.
