Hey, I've been looking at what I'm subscribed to on Lemmy and it really grim, and not really what I want from a social media. I'm into tech, but the tech subs talk about evil things companies do, a lot of linux meme and programmer humor, and it's all cool and all, piracy talking about how it's bad what certain company do. And when you go in global it's "Amercan Politics" "Elon Musk Bad" "Stealing data", "our world ending"

Recently my brother and I where bored, and I went to show him we moved to lemmy, and said we had memes and all the stuff here. And looking at top memes, it was "complaining about big tech", and "complaining on windows".

And, I miss a bit all I had on Reddit not going to lie.

So is there any active community with some positive things anywhere you'd recommend. I just feel like I'm in a bad angry environment.

I've got:

!wholesome@kbin.social

!wholesomememes@lemmy.ml

!cat@lemmy.world

!rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

!pixelart@lemmy.ml

!photography@lemmy.ml

!cafe@monyet.cc

!houseplants@mander.xyz

Edit: Wow! If you come after, I'd truly, truly invite you to look around in the comments, people here truly changed the way I see Lemmy, its way different now! Way better!

Had to block it due to low effort posts. I'm a huge Trek fan but holy shit the content is baaaaaad.

I'll add !bunnynewsnetwork@lemm.ee

A lot of the picture ones are good.

!pics@lemmy.world - busiest

!analog@lemmy.world - film photography

Somebody mentioned the "imaginary" communities. This is my favourite, if you look in the sidebar you'll find others: !imaginarywitches@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I am missing the catsubs. Calicos, voids, standard issue, whatevers. Feline fanciers posting pics of their purr machines. Doesn't seem to be a thing here.

Although I enjoy getting into the trenches with politics here on Lemmy, I'm really happy to have found a community (not on Lemmy) where I can find people like what you're looking for, just a place where everyone, for the most part anyway, is nice and friendly and supportive. Unfortunately, it won't do much for you unless you're a fan of a somewhat obscure American TV show because you wouldn't get our endless references.

@Kyoyeou If you like escapism, consider !imaginarydirectory@lemm.ee 's listings. It'll get really interesting once @Martineski remakes his communities that used to be on lemmy.fmhy.ml. If join the Imaginary Network myself if I didn't post videos and real-life examples of floating sometimes.

Lemmy and Kbin are new and buggy, but I embrace the jank and work around it. I actually had to reply to you with my Mastodon account here because it didn't work the first time. It gets better. Don't give up!

@Kyoyeou The Fediverse is still young and it needs your help to balance all the negativity it attracts. You've got to contribute content to the Fediverse yourself. I wanted to see more stuff that floats in the air and that community didn't exist, so I made my own subreddit and then my own Kbin community.

You might have seen my !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io in recent months when a Lemmy bug gave it more exposure than it probably deserved. I try my best to make Floating Is Fun interesting to follow.

I think the best way to go is to use the everything feed for discovery and to find new communities, then spend most of your time in subscriptions

The boomers had the whole summer of love, where huge hippies. To quote a famous poet of years gone by "I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac, a little voice inside my head said, don't look back, you can never look back."

Nothing stays the same. Change is the only constant, and destruction is the beat to which humanity dances.

Wholesome isn't interesting to a lot of us. I have work, operating systems, programming, news, politics, and being right to worry about. Wholesome is for winter days off while sipping cocoa instead of coffee. We're not there yet, and even then there is the worry of certain holiday cheer being irritating, and those holiday songs that drill into your head from family and stores. Yikes.

a social media

  1. social media [ no singular article, no additional noun]
  2. a social media site/service/something [ article and noun ]

You want to pick a lane.
