Yes I have my subscribed communities and block communities I don't want to see.

It seems like that's all what most people on lemmy want. Is to be political. Shits tiring asf.

I see lots of really cool fun communities like photoshop nonsense, and others that are silly and engaging where you can be creative and there's little to no participation.

It seems like with most social media, people just jack themselves off to any opportunity to put their political opinion online as if they're someone influential or something.

It's fucking annoying. A bunch of dipshits with a megaphone

I will start working on a post describing what this directory is and how it works tomorrow. But it boils down to:

I work on markdown and organise communities in obsidian and then copy/pase it into github files which get synced into directory posts through script. It's to prevent a situation where posts are relying on one person and allow more people to work on the directory.
Weekly (soon every 2 weeks) posts made for each category where best posts from each community in the category are ranked for people to discover more communities they might like. Each category is posted by a separate bot so people who don't like a specific category can yeet out the bot and only see what they want.
I discover communities through my alt (this LW account). I do that by blocking communities that are already in the directory and communities that I don't want to add (at least short term) and subscribing to communities that I want to add. I sort by new.

You can follow the github page for the discussions and plans regarding the directory. Today I set up some milestones so you can take a look at them too: https://github.com/fnic-lemmy/lemmy-directory/milestones

I plan to finish the first milestone and announce the directory next week.

Almost forgot, the person working on the code is the other person you see on this github project. We also had small help with code from someone else that isn't as deep into the project as both of us are.
