    I found a lot of good things on Lemmy… But, I can never go ‘full-Lemmy’, because I hate the politics crap.

      what do you actually mean when you say you hate politics? you hate having to think about how things suck? or you hate having to watch marginalized people fight for their rights?

        I’m assuming they mean they want an experience that isn’t dominated by politics. Which I totally understand and I agree with. It would be great if there were lots of active communities that were around hobbies and interesting and fun casual things. I guess that can only be achieved by reaching a certain scale though.

          i mean have you seen the state of the world? not sure why you expect anything to not be dominated by politics.

            Sure, but it’s healthy to take a break and not be fixated on politics. It should be possible to currate a list of subscribed communities that don’t talk about politics at all. For example, someone might only view their subscribed communities instead of all and only see:

            • gardening
            • cooking
            • retro gaming
            • formula 1
            • favourite formula 1 team
            • diy
            • funny videos
            • progressive house music

        Thank you! This is what I need. I prefer to block based on words rather than blocking the whole instance thing. :)
