I don’t know exactly the correlation, since it seems to be all over. News, entertainment, and other even niche communities have a lot of politically motivated content that gets posted that is not just silly memes or factual reporting, or on-topic discussion.
Yeah, I saw the communist stuff too. But I set filters early on that hide content by keyword in Connect for Lemmy, which is what I typically use for browsing. I filter all content mentioning pretty much anything political and a few other subjects, but a lot of content still gets through because it doesnt trigger the keyword detection. The filters really helped to hide all that stuff early on, so it hasnt been as bad as when I first joined, but things still get through pretty often. So now I just block users that post that stuff, since users will typically post more similar content.
