Might be easier to ask for suggestions of where to post whatever content you mean, and have people point you in the right way.

“I want to post content. Its not news. Its not a meme. Its not a question”.

Ok well, is it a video? Music? A blog? Traditional art? AI generated images? Relating to fitness, martial arts, some other sport?

You should ask where to post specific content. Not where to post some nebulous thing without saying what it is.

Assuming your instance has it, use the "block" feature on communities. I like to browse the "all" version of lemmy.world; but ya, it's a lot of memes and stuff I don't care to engage with. So, I'll open a new tab to that community and hit the "block community" button. That community no longer shows up.

You can also block specific users. I use this on a lot of the re-post bots. Similar procedure, open the user's profile and "Block User".

It makes browsing "all" far more enjoyable.

Find a category for what you want to post and look for relevant communities or create one.

Example: A link to metal music could go into !metal@lemmy.world, there are also communities for more or less specific categories, ie !death_metal@lemmy.world or !music@sopuli.xyz.

It depends on what it is, I would start with a community that fits the content.

(This question is neither a meme or news, so it fits the category it is asking about)
