I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
Despite everything people here says, you’re probably not going to get a community without politics
Lemmy was born from politics, grew from politics and the largest communities are about politics
Your best bet is to leave if you’re sick of it (Lemmy is essentially stuck with politics forever) or get used to it and use some filters to prevent the worst
Filter out the politics, and join a bunch of other forums instead.
[email protected] is no politics! We’re a trans+ inclusive women’s only group though.

Trans rights aren’t political?
Women’s rights isn’t political?
Just existing as a woman or trans person isn’t political. No one ever says this about existing as a man.
In an ideal world, they wouldn’t be. This is 2025.
They’re only political because one side insists somehow they are.
Left-handed rights aren’t political.

I couldn’t find an explicit law against being left handed, but social pressure is a real thing.

Thanks for this, joined! :)
Glad to have you 😃
