Where are the quality subs here? All I'm seeing is politics and anger
Sure I’m pissed off too but Lemmy has to be more than everyone screaming at politics and billionaires. I need some balance of just topics that are not rage bait and propaganda. Are there no cat subs here?

There’s a fox one too! I don’t remember the instance though.

The key is to make some sweeping community and instance blocks right off the bat. Then it’s a tolerable platform.

#1 : Dull Men’s Club
lemmy.worldDull Men's Club - Lemmy.WorldAn unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club. https://dullmensclub.com/
[https://dullmensclub.com/] 1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts
should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important
rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many
uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule. 2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful
Content. 3. Avoid repetitive topics. 4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook
group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple
questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”. There are a
number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help
you. Some other communities to consider before posting: - what is this thing?

Yes. I meant the top of the feed, first you see at the time. I subscribed anyway though.

!tenforward@lemmy.world for a great trek community

lemmy.worldTenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name - Lemmy.World/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek! Re-route power
to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the
nonsense you want. Within reason of course. ~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek
community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any
post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group
will result in removal/ban. ~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both
on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the
person you are talking to is also a person. ~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler
tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your
posting. After that it’s free game. ~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind
of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible. ~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all
love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough. ~ 6. Try to not
repo
maybe take a gander through the list Blaze made of active communities which are not politics, news, memes or tech, there’s definitely more than that around but it is a good starting point

You need to block the political subs. At least the ones constantly posting tabloids or reposting Twitter ragebait.
Even then… yeah. It’s a major problem for Lemmy/Piefed. There are cat subs, but niches feel buried these days.
Replying to @lemmylump@lemmy.world
in addition to what people said, if you don’t find what you want, post it.
a lot of the smaller and niche comms won’t have as many posters.

lemmy.worldAlbumArtworkHeaven - Lemmy.WorldCommunity Description – Album Artwork Heaven It is an community about album
covers so the music itself isn’t necessarly good music Welcome to Album Artwork
Heaven — a cozy corner of Lemmy dedicated to celebrating the visual side of
music! 🎶🖼️
This community is all about sharing, discovering, and appreciating album covers,
music-related artwork, and the creative design that brings sound to life through
imagery. Whether it’s vintage vinyl sleeves, modern digital art, obscure indie
releases, or iconic classics — if it’s beautiful, striking, or just plain weird,
it belongs here. Very Loose Rules: 1. Keep it music-related – Posts should
feature album art, cover art, or artwork directly tied to a musical release
(EPs, singles, mixtapes, etc. count too!). 2. Be respectful – No hate speech,
harassment, or spam. Critique art, not people. 3. Credit when possible – If you
know the artist, designer, or band, please mention them! (But don’t worry if
you’re not sure.) 4. No NSFW without tagging – IfReplying to @lemmylump@lemmy.world
Gotta filter the word “Trump”. Believe me, it won’t leave you in the dark. You’ll still get US news just not headlines that are rage bait

That’s actually pretty fair. I thought the fediverse should foster nieche c/ it would keep people on lemmy longer because they enjoy popular memes as well as specialized interests.
I want to say AMA communities but I tainted that with rage bait and only a few posts a month. 196 communities can be fun they’re chill 99% of the time, but they don’t take criticism too well.
