Hi 🙋,

you might be in search for an reddit alternative and don’t get the Lemmy thing, yet. Lemme help you out, shortly.

  1. Lemmy lets you build communities just like you are used to.
  2. You need an account to participate. I doesn’t matter on which server you register.
    1. https://feddit.org → German/English community
    2. https://feddit.uk → UK centric
    3. List of other servers
  3. Lemmy servers (instances) host communities and can be interconnected.
    1. @[email protected] can follow local or remote communities
  4. Following a community is called subscribing, you’ll find a subscribe button when browsing communities.
  5. Subscribing will keep you noted on new posts.
  6. Mobile clients can make the experience more fluffy
    1. Voyager
    2. Arctic (iOS)
    3. List of other clients

Our community is called [email protected] but there are several likeminded communities out there. Make sure to watch out for them, e.g. by browsing an instance's local communities. Also if you want to stick around we posted about What to expect (from this community) and Where to start (buying european).

Feel free to link this post, when onboarding people to this community.

This is like a yes and no. There is a lot of communist talk, I've added comrade to my dictionary thanks to hexbear because I like the sound of comrade more than friend or buddy. They are very pro-Palenstine and hate Zionism. They also don't find Ukraine too favorable. But there are disabled, mutual aid, movie nights, lots of shit posting, dunking, and as you said trans and em_poc communities. There is a shock sometimes, like on 9/11. They hate the US, this is ok for me because I also hate our government. You can wish death on execs/wealthy assholes without getting banned. There is a culture, lots of emoji with esoteric meanings, and you will get banned for saying certain things like comparing China's president to Winnie the Pooh. Generally they favor China to an extent and the Soviet Union to an extent. But you will also get banned for transphobia, they are protective of their trans users/comrades. And they are pro-vegan, anything with animal products needs a content warning. Many things need CW, but I am ok with that. They also introduced me to Disco Elysium, which is an amazing game. Hexbear is ... unique.
