Lemmy for me is all Linux, politics, boobs, anime and sports. I’m a straight woman who hates sports and anime, has a surface interest in Linux but doesn’t wish to debate about it, and likes to be knowledgeable about both world and US politics but hates the anger. I’m really debating if Lemmy is for me, but I won’t go back to reddit and I need someplace to browse when the insomnia strikes.
On the basic mobile website, you go to the sub… community you want to block or even just the comments for a post, expand the side bar button at the top, then hit Block Community.
For example, on this post, I go into these comments, hit Sidebar at the top of the comments, then block community.
I’m pretty similar to you. Not much interest in technology, I already do it so often during my day-to-day that any more turns me over my breaking point. The main communities I am subscribed to are either picture-related or food-related, hope you can find what you enjoy!
I know what you mean. I’ve been struggling myself. On top of kind of being unable to relate, I’m not tech savvy and with a demanding toddler on me I just don’t find the time or energy to figure out how to even search for the right communities. I’m trying, but at 2 am when I have 15 minutes for myself and this app asks me what instance I want to view something in and doesn’t let me comment something somewhere and then I try to check whether Abrathatfits is already on lemmy I get a million (non bra related) search results - it’s just echausting for I don’t know what.
I miss the memes (I don’t get 80% of the memes here since most are some jokes about tech or coding), and I miss the girly subs. I miss makeup addiction ffs and beyond the bump, and moldly interesting. I like politics in general but somehow the communities here don’t have any news that I care about. The ukraine communities are also rather dead here, that was an important one since I have family on both sides of the border.
Maybe I should put more effort into it, more energy, more search les and adjustments, but it might just be that lemmy, while a great concept, is just not for me. Maybe there just aren’t the communities I need. I also doubt I will go back to reddit but damn, I am lost. Maybe I should. Especially when it comes to Ukraine I am really debating whether supporting a futile protest of a social media website to make a point is really worth being less informed and connected.
Sorry for the long rant tho.

This is the way.
I just do what I did with reddit and only browse all whenever I get REALLY bored.
Sorry for this, feel free to block all of the communities related to the topics. That should allow smaller ones to come to your feed.
Pictures, food, movies communities are rising, there is hope
It’s still growing so it’ll get better! I hope
Much to my dismay I have yet to see a single boob on Lemmy

9/10s of mine is food and cute animals.
tbh I browser All or Local really rarely, I am mostly in my subscribed communities and really like Lemmy
You’ll find your niche here I bet… Give it time

I too left reddit, and lemmy so far works for going to sleep. It’s a different flavor but it’s still great for helping me drift off… Zzzzz…
!politics wants civil discussion and not anger, but it’s hard to encourage that.

I am really enjoying the statement on being a straight woman, but unlike the rest of your statements you didn’t elaborate on boobs.
