To be more specific (If this even makes sense) I’m looking for an instance that leans more on the conservative side, but isn’t infested with politics.
I guess I’m looking for an instance that isn’t highly political. Even if it’s a conservative instance, I don’t really want to only see or have a politically dominated feed.
I’ve been on conservative instances way in the past, and that’s always been my issue with them. Obviously more left leaning instances have the same problem.
But I don’t want my lemmy experience to be majority about politics no matter what side it leans.
Any “conservative space” that exists usually fills up with conservatives saying the type of shit that would get them banned anywhere else.
I don’t think you’ll ever find what you’re looking for, but best of luck creating it and preventing it from devolving into what’s around currently.
why look for a space with a political lean if you don’t wanna see politics? plenty of spaces to talk about other topics
The problem with “conservatives” is that they don’t really stand for anything. So they have to go into politics and culture war nonsense.
You’re not really going to find anything that’s conservative yet isn’t political because modern conservatism is fundamentally hollow by design.
You formed that opinion by talking to conservatives?
Yes.
You asked them “what do you stand for”, and they said “nothing really”?
No.
.
when they flock together they tend to get disruptive and toxic very quickly
Hmm, I wonder why that is?
Conservatives: “Don’t talk about politics, I’m an independent”
Also conservatives: Brandon is censoring me! Jan 6 was peaceful!
What are some topics that you feel are conservative that are not related to politics?
If you don’t want to have a politically dominated feed don’t subscribe to political communities.
The subscribed feed is there for a reason. To have your own curated feed of things you want to see and that is possible from any instance (given that the instance you are on isn’t defederated from a bunch of other instances that have most of the content you want to see)
To everyone downvoting: Stop downvoting well meaning questions because you think anyone using that word must be about taking a side in American politics.
There will always be people resistant to change. They should have a space to share their doubts in a healthy way without falling into the toxic sludge of “Conservativism” (which is often radically revolutionary btw)
And to answer the question: Your best bet is a mainstream instance, and not subscribing to anything related to politics. You won’t escape it completely, and you can’t avoid having your ideas challenged. But you can avoid name-calling and hostility related to election campaigns.
Thank you for being a voice of reason among all the noise.
Kinda surprised nobody has said this: start your own instance. Seriously, thats the power of the fediverse.
If you’re looking for something less overtly tankie, any instance other than hexbear or .ml to a lesser extent is probably okay. But I’d recommend just blocking the subs that have too much political stuff. I don’t think there’s a specifically conservative instance, since that isn’t really Lemmy’s demographic.

“good”ness and “conservative” don’t coexist
May not quite answer your question, but when I think conservative I think less government interference.
Keyword my perspective, views of actual conservatism vary. So my thoughts would be instances where not having as much of your info be public, censorship, and mandates. Mandates is touchy, so what I am thinking is there should not be a vaccine mandate because everyone should be educated enough to understand how beneficial vaccines are and there is no need to force people since they’ll do it anyway.
Maybe an instance would be that Deep Space 9 episode where the federation tries to take over the entire Earth just because of a changeling threat?
