Don't people have any hobbies, passions, or anything better to talk about? Politics and news are such boring conversations, full of intentional outrage and strife. I sure wish that we as an online community could break away from the divisive machinations of the disreputable media.

Those are all great points and I appreciate the perspective. I guess I'm kind of in the same boat, not knowing what to post since the communities aren't fully formed yet. Like I wanted to discuss a movie a few nights ago, but I checked the movie communities and there were only a few members, so I posted it to a private sub on Reddit which is the only one I still visit. I'd like to see more conversation here outside of news, politics, and tech, but I suppose I should be part of the solution and post some stuff myself. I've never been a big poster, mostly a commenter, but since Lemmy is young and growing, I'm sure other people like me would appreciate the interest related posts. Yes, I just decided, I will be more active about posting the type of content I'd like to discuss and help build the communities. Cool.
