Basically my entire feed is like swiss cheese due to all the articles about Trump and Musk.

Does someone actually enjoy consuming this stuff all day every day? I can’t possibly imagine Lemmy ever becoming popular among the normies if this is what they’d need to deal with.

Honestly the last time Trump was president I think it was similar on reddit and in the media in general. It’s just that news about the stupid stuff he does seem to generate a lot of engagement and that’s what platforms and news organisations are looking for.

My feed looks a lot different. And I’ve been blocking posts with these keywords for some time now, plus I’ve unsubscribed from world news and politics communities… But I have a lot of meme pictures in my feed, tech related stuff, casual talk and general questions, comics, animal pictures, computer hobby stuff, movies and TV… Maybe you’re subscribed to the wrong communities?

I’ve unfollowed so many communities due to the overwhelming amount of political articles already. If I keep doing that there’s not going to be anything left to browse soon. People are posting that stuff even on meme communities.

That is correct. I’ve also observed Lemmy is a lot about commenting on the news. And I wish it was more about hobbies, conversations and interesting stuff. You’re generally better off if you like Linux and AI, which are things I’m interested in and those are some pretty active topics… But I can see how that’s not everyone’s pair of shoes.

I appreciate the memes on Lemmy. Seems to be automated and they have low engagement, but it’s kind of awesome to to scroll, lol at cat, and get some news.

Wait. So you’re saying that it’s infuriating to see politics in your feed after you turned off the filter to prevent seeing politics in your feed? 🤔

Edit: You know what, that’s my bad. I misread your post originally. My sincerest apologies for the confusion.

You’re right. I reread your post and realized I misinterpreted what you said. That’s on me. I updated my comment.

It was the same when Israel invaded Palestine, nothing but Gaza news on the frontpage. Trump’s dismantling of the country is one of the shittiest things happening in the world right now, of course it will dominate the front page.

The unfortunate part is that he’s going to be dismantling the country for the next 4 years
