I like programming.dev and what's happening on my "local" instance, but once i check of what's happening in the wild (other instances) I am reluctant to recommend lemmy to others. (programming.dev)

Programming.dev is nice a community and overall i like the content I get when i stay on my local instance.

The moment i am switching to "all" everything becomes extremely left leaning and too politicised for my taste.

Is there a way to block all the communist/anarchist/anti-capitalist stuff, or this is Lemmy in general?

It's not Lemmy it's mostly lemmy.ml and lemmygrad, two of the biggest instances. As both name's imply both are communist in nature but both host communities for multiple topics since they where the most active instances. The Lemmy Devs originally created Lemmy due to Reddit banning/quarantining multiple leftist subreddits around 2018/2019 and created lemmy.ml as the first instance. Don't know the history behind lemmygrad but it's a communist instance nonetheless.
