I like programming.dev and what's happening on my "local" instance, but once i check of what's happening in the wild (other instances) I am reluctant to recommend lemmy to others. (programming.dev)

Programming.dev is nice a community and overall i like the content I get when i stay on my local instance.

The moment i am switching to "all" everything becomes extremely left leaning and too politicised for my taste.

Is there a way to block all the communist/anarchist/anti-capitalist stuff, or this is Lemmy in general?

I think that "all" of anything is going to be a dumpster fire no matter what your standards are. Sturgeon said that 90% of everything is crud. What he didn't say was that everyone has their own opinion on which 10% is worth anything.

Or you could put on your hip waders and follow Kipling into the waters looking for the 20% that makes it worthwhile to wade through the other 80%.
