I know a lot of shitty things are happening in the world right now. But I get this feeling that most of the posts I see in lemmy feed are sad or depressing.
Are there any uplifting communities that I’m missing out on ?
Edit1: Thanks for the suggestions everyone
Here are a bunch of fun communities that are active (avoiding news, tech, and memes):

It is funny, first thing I see:
Superbowl reminds me of the SDF Fox News

(Edited to make the bot happy!)
Thanks! Just subscribed to most of them :)
I… am both dumbfounded and grateful that you appreciate our community, Rolando. <3
I try not to spam myself nowadays, but [email protected] has great photos, of course, but I also have a good bit of educational and scientific content and places you can go visit in person.
I post daily, so if you have even a remote interest in beautiful killer birds, give it a look. I just did another ELI5 research paper write up today, and with 250 types of owls, I can guarantee you stuff you’ve never seen before!
Art communities are usually encouraging
Thanks. Any suggestions in particular ?
Haha. I moderate [email protected]
But there’s a great one called art share. Another is traditional art.
There’s some great communities
The world is a pretty shitty place right now so if you follow political communities you’ll get a lot of negativity.
Interest based communities tend to be more positive since we’re talking about things we love (be that pets, gardens, or TTRPGs)
It is perfectly fair for you to feel unable to cope with negativity though, so feel no guilt if you just want a feed full of cat pictures.
I mostly subscribe to tech and news, which is mostly sad. I get suggestions to subscribe to Cyanide and Happiness which is supposed to be sad (I guess). Interesting suggestions, thanks 👍
I browse all, and I just block communities that I find overly negative.
LemmyBeWholesome? [email protected]
Or WholesomeMemes [email protected]
I just block everything that has the words “news” or “meme” in them. That already avoids you 90% of bad news and disgrace.
Cats are all the rage on Lemmy at the moment
You can never go wrong with cats or plants.
I just went through my list of subreddits and searched Lemmy for similar communities. I would say a good 70% we’re already represented here
