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?
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.

We also have Linux, LOTR and Star Trek.
And owls! Don’t forget the owls!
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.
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 :)
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.
It’s new but if you enjoyed reddits BoRU there’s !bestofinternetupdates@lemmy.world

You need to start by subscribing to communities you like. Then blcok user you don’t like.
!tenforward@lemmy.world 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.
The key is to make some sweeping community and instance blocks right off the bat. Then it’s a tolerable platform.
