Lemmy is amazing. I am so glad I found my way here. I was doom scrolling as well. I had to unsubscribe from all my political communities I had joined and just keep one of my news committees. I then expanded the groups for my other interests. This really helped. You are in control of your time line here.

MODERATORS
As somebody mentioned below, subscribe to communities you find to be of interest and then set your default mode to subscribed so that you only see those that you've actually subscribed to and that goes away a lot. Only browse all if you absolutely run out of content and are still looking to read.
Post the content and you'll get some engagement. I've posted in niche subs here like Begleris, lockpicking, Balisongs and got engagement. So I don't know what to tell you but to post whatever.
I have really been enjoying Comic Strips. There can be some political content, but there's plenty of other interesting and funny stuff too.
Rather than trying to replace something else, it's a good idea to look for what's new to you.
Does lemmy have flairs? Would be useful if they had a mandatory flair for objectionable content
Build Lemmy and they will come!
Funny cause I reduced my recent reddit usage cause I got tired of the toxic post election political liberal cope
