I noticed that too. I’m American but don’t give a shit about politics because it’s just too upsetting.

Go to the communities posting about it and click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and block the sub. I had to do this over the course of about 2 days while subbing to ones I enjoyed.

Still learning how to navigate this site and find communities I enjoy, but for the most part I’m not seeing the politics anymore. Hope this helps at least a little

Reddit was already mostly American politics, most of the people who came kept the same ratios. Personally I see more non American posts then ever on lemmy, it needs to grow. Post and spread it around

Sort by "hot" instead of active.

Because that's what people are posting.

Average dotworld experience.

As others have said: filter filter filter. Lemmy is small enough still that you can massively curate by blocking communities and even users where you don't like what they post.

Use a filter and remove everything dedicated to US politics and Reddit to reduce the quantity by 80%

All I see is posts from "memes" I mean, I'm not angry, I just need to subscribe to more stuff

Normal people don't give a shit about Lemmy. If you want to dive into hobbies, local news and other fun stuff - go to Reddit :)

Check your subs.

Okay, cool. You filtered it. People post and participate in those discussions because they want to for some reason. I you have something you'd prefer to discuss, go ahead and start a conversation.
