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?

    Where are the creators? The cosplayers? The rube goldberg machines made out of post it’s and shot glasses? The “I draw pictures by playing notes on a piano” people? The people porting Doom to a yoga mat? The “I made a car out of thrown out Crocs” people? The “I built a treadmill for my friend’s overweight insects” people?

    This is the stupidest shit I could think of but people are out there making and doing weirder/amazing-er things… Where are those people in Lemmy? I browse All and it’s just politics, linux, and shit posts.

      Where are those people in Lemmy?

      Also, for those few posts of creative stuff around here, where are the people to upvote and comment on them?

      Hey I’m a musician/creator actually! I’m attempting to be the change I wish to see! I haven’t shared anything here because I treat Lemmy as more discussion oriented but on Mastodon I’ve shared my first Peertube upload.

      I just refuse to be like those “pick me” people who are only on a platform in hopes of building their “brand”. I truly want to make friends here and if they happen to like my tunes when I occasionally share them that’s fucking dope for me. I’m seeing quite a few people like me too who are using the federation as more than the grind for fame. Overtime we will get the pick me’s, but I think we will get a lot of decent artists in it for artistry sake

      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.

      Hello friend, can I interest you in making post apocalyptic battle cars out of Hotwheels?

      The cosplayers?

      I’m here, but I think I’m the only one to have posted in the last 4 months. I just make a couple cosplays per year as a hobby, so I don’t really have much to post. And asking for cosplay help seems pointless. Here I could wait a week for one response, whereas on instagram I’ll get 5 different ways to fix my issue in an hour

      reddit had some decent cosplay discussion, but as far as i can tell, most of the community is just on instagram (and some youtube)
