I completely agree. What's more, none of my hobbies have a lot of posts. I myself am an occasional poster at best and I'm not interested in being one of at most 4 people posting in those communities. I'm thinking about finding a third party or otherwise foss or just better reddit client and just browsing.

Lastly, it's fucking impossible to avoid politics on lemmy, american politics especially. Even in communities that I wouldn't say are explicitly political, people find ways to squirm in some bullshit. I'm tired, boss. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other.

I agree. While 99% of the Star Trek stuff is humor, and most of the stuff posted here (outside of politics) is as well, I feel you. We've done great things covering hockey and F1. It's just that this kind of platform tends to attract a very specific demographic. If you don't see communities that fit your interests, I am willing to help you create and foster them.

Why not just block the communities you don't want to see?

I used to Reddit for memes, lulz and banter but they killed my preferred app and turned the site to shit so I bounced to the alternative, but in the last year this place is becoming increasingly fuckin negative

I have the same experience. It's even worse because I do Linux and FOSS and privacy and vegetarian but make a comment or post at your peril because people love to downvote and argue over literally everything.

Sorry, too busy posting from Arch (btw). And yeah... there should be another mountain in the distance in the shape of a penguin. Or, more specifically, some loose rock formations doing their damndest to compile Gentoo,

I have the problem of wanting to scroll endlessly like I'm some kind of Selacao.

I've got nothing to do most days other than scroll. If you curate like you're intended to do, content runs dry here fast. I'm doing my best to make new stuff for people here.
