The federated lemmy field is all about politics and some memes. I convinced a friend with fediverse idea and advised him to start with lemmy and mastodon accounts, he has never used Reddit and aren’t familiar with subs that Reddit users know.

Start with All and begin subscribing and blocking as needed.
I’ve weirdly found that it’s even harder to curate ALL on the FV than it is on Reddit. The process of blocking takes a couple more clicks, and you’re only blocking a single community, not the group associated with that subject.
Also, there’s an unbelievable amount of niche communities that for some reason seems even more gargantuan than at the other place. I must have hundreds blocked by now, and my ALL feed is still as weird and unpredictable as ever.
I only block what will never interest me or is somehow flooding All. After about a week I found myself spending most of my time in my subscribed communities.
Fair warning if your instance isn’t defederated from lemmy.nsfw there will be a LOT of porn
You can also just block instances, I’ve got most of the porn ones and tankie ones blocked
