One thing you might do that would address the broader issue is submit news that isn’t about Trump. I mean, so far, this is the only post you’ve submitted. You want to see news about something else, someone has to submit it. It won’t submit itself.

I don’t know how common this is, but my client(Voyager) has an option to block keywords (“Trump”, “DOJ”, “ICE”, etc…?)which could be one strategy.

One element of Lemmy that is being underutilised by many people is the ‘together but separate’ nature of this social media.

This is probably due to a lot of the user interfaces, be it desktop or mobile, not prioritising showing a distinction between servers.

The app ‘sync’ is one example that does prioritise this, (although its not been updated for ages so is slowly breaking).

This app allows you to visit each server individually, not just single communities. This means you can spend your time on some of the country specific, or special interest servers where the very ‘reddity’ US politics posting is minimal, if present at all.

So my advice, go explore some specific servers. I don’t know what DB0’s server is like. Just had a quick look, seems like a tonne of bots posting on the local, so maybe not the best example of what I mean.

Try my home instance (aussie.zone) theres a group of regular posters, and while we have an ‘overseas news’ community, it isnt the most popular community on the server, and US stuff is far from the top three of subjects.

Other examples of what I mean are,

Lemmy.NZ Feddit.UK Programming.dev Slrpnk.net

We have the ability to have whole servers dedicated to niche topics, and their different facets, while still being connected to the whole, its quite fantastic.

So go explore different servers, maybe even move to a server that particularly interests you, that way when you can’t do the content on ‘all’ or ‘subscribed’ communities, theres the ‘local’ or ‘favourite’ servers there as well.

Assuming you’re on browser and have uBlock Origin installed you can filter out posts based on keywords with a custom filter

lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text(/trump/i))
lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text(/maga/i))
lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text(/republican/i))

And so on…

Just note that filters like “ICE” block every post with a word in it that contains those letters. You can prevent false positives by adding spaces on both sides of the word but then it doesn’t trigger if the post title starts or ends with that word. Either way it helps a lot. Half of the threads on my personal front page regularly get filtered out.

So, what to do?

See things you don’t care about and ignore them.

The vast majority of humans are capable of this, and can even do it relatively subconsciously

I’m in a different boat because I want global news measured by importance and I think that includes a lot of Trump but your post got me thinking.

I think I’m only / mostly seeing Trump posts in news channels and politics discussion channels.

Do you have examples of channels that you subscribe to that have more Trump posts than you like?

Maybe that shows a pattern, helps other people offer suggestions for different channels or helps hone the rules for the channels you’re a part of.

Trump is thretening the global order naturally it is a big topic . You should just block communities and users. I for example hate memes and now my feeds are almost free of memes

subscribe to non political subs?
