I'm temporarily taking a break from political activism, and it is tiring seeing everything right now. I have been politically active for 5 years now, and I desperately need a break. Voyager for Lemmy, at least for me, pushes political content like crazy.

Make an account, subscribe intentionally, set your default view to "Subscribed" instead of "All" or "Instance". Then your original account is still there if and when you're ready to go back. Or just do this on your main account if you prefer.

There's no algorithm pushing content on Lemmy, it's how you choose to set your view and what you choose to subscribe to.
