Seriously every other post, every sub seems like nothing but politics. It's so boring and disgusting. What made reddit great at one time was the diversity of genres and depth. Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems. I have been here since the Reddit exodus. It's always been this way.

Do different Lemmy servers have different content?

Are certain severs curated?

Where do I find the depth and deep subject matter.

Why is all of Lemmy politics?

Do you know why the Lemmy platform and the lemmy.ml instance were created in the first place?

Lemmy is very shallow and politically motivated it seems.

Politics is orthogonal to depth. The existence of shallow politics in no way suggests the absence of deep politics.
