When scrolling Lemmy (compared to reddit in the past), all I see is doom and gloom / news. I don't see interesting conversations or comments to read.

Occasionally I'll find something, and I've been contributing more, but there's just so much doom that it fills my feed.

I've had to unsubscribe from many communities bc it's just doom news reposts..

Is it just me?

I'm still okay with a bit of politics discussion, but seeing US politics on timeline everyday?? I am NOT a US citizen and I DO NOT CARE about their politics at all. And the doomerism posting, so so tired of them.

That's why I tend to follow casual community like !artshare, music related stuff, etc. I also made a community for japanese trains, though it's my first time running a community so I'm kinda confused how to run the community.

I just blocked all the US-specific comms, it's not too interesting to me and if its really big I just see it through national news and not through Lemmy.

Could you link to your trains community, please?
