Same here. I generally prefer Lemmy at this point but I absolutely hate how everything is politics on here. Even the meme communities are half the time just shitty talking points in a meme template.

So much negativity all the time and all of it is essentially useless because virtually everyone on Lemmy is at least progressive already. So the comments are just a bunch of people agreeing with each other how terrible everything is.

It’s really exhausting.

Everything is about politics on reddit too

Reddit does have working niche communities though. If it’s too much you can always switch to a feed of nothing but shitposts and your hobbies. Here not so much

On lemmy there's 196, which is a shitpost community

Yeah 196 and the star trek communities are consistently positive and fun, and I'm not even a trekkie (yet). Those two places are singlehandedly keeping lemmy from being too negative to be worth it for me
