Hopefully things change once lemmy.world updates to 0.19 with scaled sorting. And maybe you guys and gals have some advice for fixing my issue.

To keep my feed fresh I subscribed to all the big communities full of memes. They do have engagement beyond funny jokes, but I'm tired of how political everything is.

I'm not trying to bury my head in the sand, on the contrary, im highly aware how much fascism has taken its grips on the world. But I don't need to be reminded everytime I'm on lemmy.

So I'm hoping once scaled sorting is on lemmy.world, the lemmyverse will transform. I hope I start seeing my hobbyist community come to life.

Or if people have recommendations for large communities not full of politics that works too. Maybe memes and shitposts aren't for me.

Everything is politics. Half of us are here because of reedits bad politics.

I'm going to preface that this might feel like a personal attack but it's meant for anybody who come across this response.

We didn't come over here because of political reasons. Reddit didn't all of the sudden give their views on gun rights or abortion. They changed their business model. That's not politics.

Of course you can say anything is political, but thats on YOU. Why would you want to fill your head with all the negativity of the world, constantly? Can you personally solve the world's crises? Go outside and look around at your local community and see the GOOD that is still happening right in your back yard.

I'm sorry that I'm hounding on you specifically, but you said something and I'm going to refute your statement.

Beyond that, it's still good to have you here because it's debates like this that keep lemmy thriving.

EDIT: I edited this post to be nicer. Doesnct change my view.
