Why is my entire feed in this Lemmy server nothing but American politics and Reddit bashing (lemmy.world)

I came to Lemmy cause Reddit went to shit, so I get that people want to bash it and I also understand that most of the users of Lemmy are from the US and the shit show that's happening there right now, but I am absolutely tired of these 2 types of posts being the only thing in my feed, I open this app because I want to learn new interesting things, and maybe see some funny and creative stuff, there's enough negativity and stress in my life and I don't need more of that on my only social media app. How do I filter these topics from my feed and which communities can I join to improve my feed.

instead focuses attention toward, for each topic, “the one big community” and its contingent idiosyncrasies.

!politics@lemmy.world, !usa@lemmy.ml and !politics@hexbear.net being all active in parallel seems to shows that the model is working

That 15k big community, 5k dissidents and sub100 irrelevant.

Actually that's a clear demonstration of the system's failure.

There should be 2500 politics, not 3. And you shouldn't need to post in 3 nor 2500 to reach the 20k people.

This is because if you click on this /c/politics Which you can't because it's broken But if you could, you should see everything in every 3 or 2500 politics community.

But you can't. So if you want to be heard then the big community is the place you shpuld always post, unless your a dissident, in which case you will only have a 75% handicap and have to hope the dissidents don't also hate because then it is game over.

Btw multireddits dobt fux this, because there would only be 40 people that took the tine to setup an account multireddit of the 10 biggest ones. And 0 would add the 2500 politics communities.

Frictionless migration of communities and users

Subscription based, crowd source moderation (that everyone is expected to contribute to)

And automatic aglomeration of all fediverse wide same name communities on /c/communityname

Or bust

And its going to bust, because that means instance owned ceding their structural power and tge moderator delegates ceding their systemic power

Ain't gonna happen

Enjoy living in the farm!
