Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?

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?

Yes. I have taken to blocking communities because my energy and mood is a precious resource I need to protect. I know already the world is in a bad place.
