I found a lot of good things on Lemmy... But, I can never go 'full-Lemmy', because I hate the politics crap.

Thank you! This is what I need. I prefer to block based on words rather than blocking the whole instance thing. :)

We honestly need more normies to balance it out a bit, that's for sure.

Politics is life my dude get used to it

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what do you actually mean when you say you hate politics? you hate having to think about how things suck? or you hate having to watch marginalized people fight for their rights?

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm assuming they mean they want an experience that isn't dominated by politics. Which I totally understand and I agree with. It would be great if there were lots of active communities that were around hobbies and interesting and fun casual things. I guess that can only be achieved by reaching a certain scale though.

i mean have you seen the state of the world? not sure why you expect anything to not be dominated by politics.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, but it's healthy to take a break and not be fixated on politics. It should be possible to currate a list of subscribed communities that don't talk about politics at all. For example, someone might only view their subscribed communities instead of all and only see:

  • gardening
  • cooking
  • retro gaming
  • formula 1
  • favourite formula 1 team
  • diy
  • funny videos
  • progressive house music

Can someone make a version of this saying lemmy has no adds. I think that honestly is the best selling point for reddit users at this point.

Im brand new here and digging it. The lack of ads is a big part of that. That and the chiller vibe. I do wish it had gifs/videos. Not just images & text

[–] Temperche@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe could be a little bit more professional-looking :D

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

I prefer it over anything that looks too slick, because then it feels like a corporation made it

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

It's a meme :)

The two pinned posts in this community are more serious

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

We maybe should downplay the 'no ads' thing. I can definitely see a day when ads are required to support some sites.

I like that we'll have a choice on that day, but I do see that day.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Here's a version without the ad

Ironically, it got added because someone in the comments wanted it

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree. I think it’d be better to change that part to something like “your data not sold or tracked”.

I think trying to go down that road could be a bad path, because it definitely could be. In a lot of ways, Lemmy is kind of the opposite of all those privacy first deals.

But what about the extremism?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Reddit is quite extreme nowadays too, and over there you don't have public modlogs
