I like to be aware of the news, but seeing the same things over and again can really wear down one’s spirit. Are there any communities here on Lemmy that you use to take a break from reality? That help you decompress, think about other things, or that make you laugh?
I imagine a lot of us scrolling through the doom every day could use some amusing communities right now. What’s yours?
There are a few others, but these ones would be my go to 'the world is not the most important thing happening right now. They’re not all ‘amusing’ but they’re all great to get get a better taste in the mouth (and in the soul).

- !traditional_art@lemmy.world

- !journaling@sh.itjust.works and the selected few other communities linked in the sidebar (disclaimer: I’m the admin there ;)
Those communities don’t post too much so it doesn’t bother me to stay subscribed to all of them (plus a few more) since my feed never feels saturated. Even less that my feed only shows ‘subscribed’.
