Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It's so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It's always been this way.

Do different Lemmy servers have different content?

Are certain severs curated?

Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.

Because everything is politics

This. Fuck man this world is so spoiled by a long peace that people don't fucking understand the stakes anymore.

Apparently we are rapidly approaching another period of time where just nicely begging people to take this shit seriously isn't enough and we are going to have to kill a hundred million people or so for another generation can learn this same fucking lesson we've been repeating for some 40,000 years.

But no, Love Island is on, so feel free to ignore the incipient fascism bearing down on you and condemn your children to a world where that won't be possible.

There is a degree of anount.
I'd say my Reddit subs are similarly set up to my Lemmy communities.
My feed is 80% (US) politics or (F)OSS politics even on stuff that is neither of them in the first place.
Reddit on the other hand was more like 20% potentially political, 75% random stuff like memes or niche sub posts and 5% political/story time subs.

Sadly the reddit feed became almost unusable. The r/sysadmin feed is atrocious.
