With Reddit just announcing ai mods for sub reddits I think it’s finally time I fully give it up. I’ve been slowly trying to transition back into the fediverse but damn is it hard sometimes. Listen I have left leaning politics but does every other post have to be about some political shit on the all tab, I feel like I’m forced into this box that is my subscribed feed or I have to actively search out new communities because all is just a political circle jerk that I don’t care about. Not to mention the moment I came back I saw a fucking flow chart on the instances drama of the week. If I wasn’t so dedicated to dropping Reddit I think the average Joe would have left by now seeing all of this. And YES I have been trying to be the change I want to see if you check my profile I regularly post in meme subs non political just funny memes to be like “lmao” and people can move about their day. I’m not saying there ISNT other type of content on lemmy or piefed it just feels like the stuff that floats to the top is political

Check out lemmyverse.net to find communities. If you set your home instance (top right, button with a home icon, enter slrpnk.net in your case), then it will open the page where you can subscribe directly. There's a longer guide here with more tips: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities

If you aren't sure what you want to subscribe to, @blaze@piefed.zip had an amazing list of non-politics communities that unfortunately I can't seem to find right now.

Once Lemmy releases the big v1 update, both Lemmy and Piefed will have multi-communities that you can subscribe to in order to get a lot of similar content.

As for your requests specifically, check out these. Some are more relevant than others, and the small ones grow as interested people post to them:

!imadethis@lemmy.zip
!sewing@lemmy.world
!diy@beehaw.org
!artshare@lemmy.world
!crochet@lemmy.ca (as an example of a community that grew over time)
!sewingrepairing@sh.itjust.works
!dollhouse@lemmy.world

Slrpnk also has a full list of every community on it and I love that

Also, not who you're responding to but I just subbed to all of those, thank you!
