Where are the quality subs here? All I'm seeing is politics and anger
Sure I'm pissed off too but Lemmy has to be more than everyone screaming at politics and billionaires. I need some balance of just topics that are not rage bait and propaganda. Are there no cat subs here?

Sounds like you've been looking at All:Hot.
Re-sort by New, scroll, subscribe to communities you like, and then look at Subscribed.
maybe take a gander through the list Blaze made of active communities which are not politics, news, memes or tech, there's definitely more than that around but it is a good starting point
This is such a fantastic list, thank you for sharing! Subscribed to ten new communities just now
awesome to hear! it's a very handy resource for sure :)
We also have Linux, LOTR and Star Trek.
And owls! Don’t forget the owls!

First post: I can't tell a fitted bed sheet from a flat one. Jeeeeeesus fucking Christ on toast.
isn't it the last post -at time of writing- ?? ;)
Yes. I meant the top of the feed, first you see at the time. I subscribed anyway though.
![email protected] of course.
Oh, and ![email protected]
There's a fox one too! I don't remember the instance though.

.world has all the animals. ![email protected] too
in addition to what people said, if you don't find what you want, post it.
a lot of the smaller and niche comms won't have as many posters.
[email protected] for a great trek community
Edit: every week or two I go to /all and if I happen to see any communities that are interesting, I follow them
Check out the community list on slrpnk.net
You don't need an account there, you can sub those communities from your current account.
Also, please post other things! The reason the majority of the content is politics is because that's what's being posted.
*It’s the majority of what’s being upvoted.
There’s a lot of other content, but it tends to wither away instead of getting any engagement.
You need to start by subscribing to communities you like. Then blcok user you don't like.
The key is to make some sweeping community and instance blocks right off the bat. Then it's a tolerable platform.
Gotta filter the word "Trump". Believe me, it won't leave you in the dark. You'll still get US news just not headlines that are rage bait

And the very first post has AI in big letters.
I'm not sure if you're trying to imply that pmjv is an AI evangelist. Maybe look at the content of you're not familiar.
What'd you call me?

You need to block the political subs. At least the ones constantly posting tabloids or reposting Twitter ragebait.
Even then… yeah. It’s a major problem for Lemmy/Piefed. There are cat subs, but niches feel buried these days.

Made a post saying the same thing got slammed and downvoted and shit all over. Goodluck. I'm with you.
That's actually pretty fair. I thought the fediverse should foster nieche c/ it would keep people on lemmy longer because they enjoy popular memes as well as specialized interests.
I want to say AMA communities but I tainted that with rage bait and only a few posts a month. 196 communities can be fun they're chill 99% of the time, but they don't take criticism too well.
If you're multilingual, check out the various national instances. I've found the Germans are hilarious.
