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.

There hasn't been a post in /sailing in 2 years. Depends what you're looking for I guess.

Sucks for you if your only interest is sailing.

No, for real: I have subscribed to over 100 communities and my "subscribed" feed is always full of stuff.

Lemmy is definitely rough if you're into niche communities, true. So was Reddit in its early years though, to be fair.
