Comment on Is anyone else apprehensive to down voting even if you're being down voted?

I go and upvote things I want to see more of.
Subjectively, I do not see a big diversity of opinions on Lemmy. Everyone seems to love Linux and communism and hate Windows and western politics.
Haven’t been here for that long though so maybe I’m missing out on some communities.
There are a lot of communities with more diversity once you dig around long enough. It’s worth it to go through the communities page and sort in different ways to see if anything catches your interest!
I am also really appreciative of users who link relevant communities in the comments!! I’ve found several comms that way.
Yeah that’s a pretty accurate synopsis of the major trends. Different subs break away from this. If you’re coming from reddit then it’s was generally left leaning but was just bigger so politics was easy to escape.

I see a number of different opinions and cultures, which is why I chose my instance. .Today doesn’t block, so I can pick what I want to see and browse by subscribed.
Scrolling the All feed on .world tends to be more of an echo chamber than selecting about a hundred individual communities to check regularly.
