I've been here about a year now. Good times. Your voice counts on lemmy in a way it really really doesn't on reddit. People will engage with you because you're human and say human things. It's much more welcoming for people who like to talk somehow than reddit ever was. Don't know why.
By the way, people talk a lot about how lemmy.world censors luigi, but I use lemmy.world and see, upvote and sometimes comment on plenty of luigi stuff without mod intervention. Maybe it's just one of two communities (subreddits) where it's enforced.
If you're a communist and don't like to hear China (or sometimes for some weird reason Russia) criticised, and if you feel that the USA is the Imperialist power that needs to be broken first, you'll feel most at home in lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, but also lemmy.ml if you want to keep access to stuff from lemmy.world.
If you're progressive or liberal, you'll be fairly happy here on lemmy.world. If you're a conservative, I don't know where to recommend you.
There are various country specific ones you might find suit you for other reasons.
All in all I'm not sure it matters a great deal as much as it sounds in my post. People from different instances turn up and say stuff anyway.
The best advice is that you don't have to lurk as much as you used to on reddit, you can show up and engage and the conversation will start around you.
I would add that I think checking out and joining smaller instances is also a great opportunity. Distributes the user load across servers and being one of fewer voices in an instance means you have a bigger say in who you federate with. You also get to be a third party instance to most of the big drama and don't get judged just for your instance as much
Edit: also, if you like your instance, contribute to it!
This is a really good point.
Thank you! This is actually quite helpful.
I'm also an old redditor who's been here for 1.5 years after 3rd party apps died.
This place is much more human and less "dead internet theory" than reddit. Engage with people as much as you'd like and you'll enjoy being here
There’s also no rule or technical limitation that prevents you from joining several different instances, with the same (or different) username.
Also for radical leftists who happily criticise Russia and China (anarchists), servers you might enjoy are: lemmy.dbzer0.com and slrpnk.net
or join the dark side like me.
That's because the knee-jerk reaction for many of the mods/admins of .world communities, like news, was to massively censor and temp ban people for celebrating what Luigi did... for about 6 hours.
They were massively lambasted for this, they provided nonsensical explanations for the censorship with flimsy explanations based on their community and instance rules which they were very obviously selectively interpreting, were lambasted for these explanations, and then after about 6 hours they largely reversed course, stopped policing ao heavily and undid a bunch of the 24 hour instance wide temp bans.
You can find a few threads/posts on the yepowertrippinbastards community of lemmy.dbzero about this, or check their own modlogs, if they haven't scrubbed or obfuscated them.
Seems more or less accurate. Partly it's that we're all learning this together. Partly it's that we have a variety of mods that are different for each major community. Partly I think it was an overreaction to legal obligations. Partly it's that when you have a hammer (mod/admin tools), the tendency is to think that you should use them.
Not an excuse, of course. But people really easily love to criticize any kind of leadership with a broad brush without much willingness or understanding of how things should be led. You wouldn't believe the number of people who say they "don't have time" to moderate a community that likely takes less than five minutes of work a month.
Ah that all makes sense now, thank you for explaining.
I'm pretty liberal and haven't had much issue with lemmy.ml. Stay away from lemmygrad.
Try saying that labor conditions in China should be better.
