Not sure if this is the right place to post, but when the reddit protests were happening, I used Lemmy for a bit then decided to detox from "social media" for a while till now. Am I misinterpreting the activity here?

I tried not opening Lemmy the last few weeks because of the flood of American politics. I'm sure many people felt the same.

Do you use all or subscribe to things? I have a good list of communities and I honestly don't see much if any politics

All, yes. And I have blocked most of the communities that call themselves "News" or similar, but almost only post US politics as news. Yet it still trickles down into other communities.

Try going the other route, and explicitly subscribing to content you enjoy. From what I read you aren't alone, that all is a firehouse and it's not all fun. Subscribed to me is a much chiller experience
