I know a lot of shitty things are happening in the world right now. But I get this feeling that most of the posts I see in lemmy feed are sad or depressing.

Are there any uplifting communities that I’m missing out on ?

Edit1: Thanks for the suggestions everyone

      I think the disabling of downvotes on Beehaw and similar instances really helps. It reduces the pile-on effect, which in turn makes people less defensive and more open to proper, good faith discussion. In general I think the solution is to not find “uplifting” communities, but rather to replace whatever communities you’re currently visiting with better equivalents. The world is not as depressing and scary when the people you’re talking to about these big issues are genuine and/or educated (and by educated I just mean “took the time to read the article before commenting”).
