I’ve heard people talking about e.g. not subscribing to lemmy.world communities (because they are the largest instance), and others like Lemmygrad seems to be defederated by quite many instances. But what about lemmy.ml? Should that instance and those communities also be avoided? The “issue” is that many large communities seem to be based on that instance. Like [email protected] and [email protected]

    if you can’t handle political content then just excluding worldnews from your feed should be enough

      Spend a week in memes and you’ll see how categorically untrue that is.

          I mean that’s how I surf sometimes. But how do you find new content? I’ve found a lot of great stuff scrolling everything.

            That is a valid question. Initially, I used the community search to find all the communities I might care about, and subscribed to all of them. Occasionally, I also tried the all feed, but didn’t find anything worth my time, so I stopped doing that. Nowadays, my list of communities is pretty stable.
