What I think you need to do is have multiple accounts, I have one with a LOT of filters. "Trump, Drumpf, Trumpist, MAGA, Elon, Musk, Tesla, Rep, Republican " you get the idea. Any community I have no interest in blocked, plenty of users who go into benign subs and bring up politics blocked... Its my relaxing feed. NSFW filter on
I have one with the only filter being the nsfw one. I see the whole disaster.
I have one on Lemmy.nsfw... for reasons. Filter by local...
I have one

Why is your comment a code block?
I for one appreciate it when the AI let us know up front that we are conversing with a machine.
Reddit was already mostly American politics, most of the people who came kept the same ratios. Personally I see more non American posts then ever on lemmy, it needs to grow. Post and spread it around
I noticed that too. Iβm American but donβt give a shit about politics because itβs just too upsetting.
Go to the communities posting about it and click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and block the sub. I had to do this over the course of about 2 days while subbing to ones I enjoyed.
Still learning how to navigate this site and find communities I enjoy, but for the most part Iβm not seeing the politics anymore. Hope this helps at least a little
Thank you for sharing!
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca can help to discover active communities as well
Sweet thanks!
Because that's what people are posting.
As others have said: filter filter filter. Lemmy is small enough still that you can massively curate by blocking communities and even users where you don't like what they post.
2 reasons:
-
Mods don't seem to give a shit
-
Lemmy has the exact same issues as Reddit, minus the corporate bullshit. Users do the same stupid shit. People don't magically become not fucking stupid and horrible because they move from Reddit to the Fediverse.

Clearly you donβt frequent the NSFW forums
Use a filter and remove everything dedicated to US politics and Reddit to reduce the quantity by 80%
Average dotworld experience.
If you switch to programming.dev most political stuff gets automatically filtered away unless you're subscribed to it. Give it a try.
Check your subs.
