    I want to. But I must say its a bit difficult. Almost all lemmy instances are a specific echo chamber of opinions, thoughts and political views. The moment I say even the smallest thing out of the “norm” im banned.

      Same. I came to Lemmy because Reddit sucks, I’m looking for memes, cat videos, humorous and/or thought provoking content.

      Instead my all feed is filled with an echo chamber of political content. Not gonna lie, Lemmy is forum that takes itself away too seriously, I don’t interact because I don’t want to argue politics with strangers online, and I know any differing options get down voted to hell.

      I really wish Lemmy had a little more fun engaging, apolitical content. If it did, I’d be all over it.

        I know you’ve probably heard this already, but it really makes a difference:

        Curate your feed. My subscribed-feed is all I look at, I have an insanely long community subscription list but it feels truly active and basically no politics (thanks to voyager app’s keyword filter and lemmy’s community blocking feature).

        Also a cool tip: look at profile of users to find interesting / cool communities.
