I havent really kept tabs on how the “everything” feed works. Does it show posts from small communities here and there?
If you want to see posts from small communities (balanced with the larger ones) then select “Scaled” instead of “Hot” or “Active”.
If you’re sick of politics and tech then subscribe to communities you like and sort by “Subscribed” instead of “Local” or “All”. Look here for relevant communities:
These are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked)
GENERAL DISCUSSION / QUESTIONS
ART / PHOTOS
ANIMALS
COMICS / GRAPHIC NOVELS
ENTERTAINMENT
GENRES / STYLES
HISTORY
INFORMATION / KNOWLEDGE
OTHER
FEDIVERSE
FINDING NEW/GOOD COMMUNITIES ON LEMMY
MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR (NON-POLITICAL)
Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes politics sneaks in but that’s not the focus.
Solution: don’t look at news communities. Only subscribe to communities without news, politics, or tech…
