Hey, I’ve been looking at what I’m subscribed to on Lemmy and it really grim, and not really what I want from a social media. I’m into tech, but the tech subs talk about evil things companies do, a lot of linux meme and programmer humor, and it’s all cool and all, piracy talking about how it’s bad what certain company do. And when you go in global it’s “Amercan Politics” “Elon Musk Bad” “Stealing data”, “our world ending”

Recently my brother and I where bored, and I went to show him we moved to lemmy, and said we had memes and all the stuff here. And looking at top memes, it was “complaining about big tech”, and “complaining on windows”.

And, I miss a bit all I had on Reddit not going to lie.

So is there any active community with some positive things anywhere you’d recommend. I just feel like I’m in a bad angry environment.

I’ve got:

Edit: Wow! If you come after, I’d truly, truly invite you to look around in the comments, people here truly changed the way I see Lemmy, its way different now! Way better!

      As a 40 something, I tend to find memes tedious, boring, and unoriginal. Like, to the extent that I actively block every meme community that pops up on my feed.

      Except Risa. It’s my favorite community on Lemmy and makes me laugh multiple times per day.

        Same here. 90% zero effort memes, not worth it for the 10%.

        Lemmy memes are pretty bad on average, to be honest. Like… tons of “le outdated le cringe” from the least funny parts of Reddit about 10 years ago, actually about as funny as rage comics (which I think I’ve seen posted here, actually)

        Everyone is agreeing with you on the first point, but I have to agree with you on Risa! It’s my favorite part of the fediverse so far, by far.

        Rosa memes are actually unique much of the time. And they call back to memorable scenes… so win win.

      I’ve peaked into it, sadly I didn’t get on the Trek community when I was young. My mom bought a huge amount of DVDs of them but told us it was not for me as I was too young to watch with her. I’ve only seen the movies

        I only got into trek within the past year. I just finished TNG last week and have started on DS9. I totally didn’t expect it to suck me in the way it did. TNG is fantastic
