I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3
Lots of rude and hateful comments over here generating a ton of reports. Next time I’m issuing perma-bans for this kind of nonsense. Be respectful.
I really like Lemmy than Reddit because it smooth and no ad disturb!
Worst part is they are all on cloudflare. I only found 2 that are not. they are feddit.fr and peifed.hlahaz
iirc Lemmy.dbzer0.com isn’t either.
Our dear wrench monkey , tenchiken, is working on moving anarchist.nexus off cloudflare too, nice
It says there are 200 comments but I can see 2. So my 2 cents, jump onto the easiest instance you can. For me, that was .world. Get on the boat, then reassess when you have more time.
The first jump, reddit to Lemmy, is the hardest. The second is super easy in comparison.
That was my first instance before i decided to change. Ngl i prob shoulda stuck with world coz i do be a general purpose fam. Thats why i started piefed with the main instance
It says there are 200 comments but I can see 2
This happens if other users have blocked you or your instance.
There’s a couple of places you can look with info on the instances. I like the admins of my instance but I’ll be moving to their piefed instance instead.
Quick googling: https://join-lemmy.org/instances https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
none. join a piefed instance instead.
is there an introduction to piefed instances anywhere? what happened to lemmy that caused ppl to migrate to piefed?
https://join.piefed.social/try/ has a list. There just arn’t that many yet but https://anarchist.nexus/ is a solid choice.
We didn’t want to be lending any form of support to developers who deny genocide and promote transphobia.
So we found a more ethical solution and than it turns out the developers are fucking amazing and it’s progressing so fast that it’s leaving Lemmy in the dust. Many people are now moving because it’s offering features and improvements that the Lemmy devs refused to.
Accusations of genocide denial isn’t the cheat code you think it is, or do you not deny the genocide of white South Africans? And what say you to this one? Previously.
And if accusations of promoting transphobia held any water, blahaj & hexbear would have already defederated from us.
More countries doing a genocide is not an argument against another one doing it
Woosh
No, I don’t think so
Q.E.D.

Yes, I know that’s all you’ve got as far as lemmy.ml promoting transphobia goes.
You are making this about Lemmy.ml to change the subject from this being about the Lemmy devs themselves. You like to deflect a lot I’ve noticed.
For which you have precisely the same “evidence,” no more, no less.
Don’t argue with idiots. It’s never worth it.
Wait, THIS is what people are talking about when they say the devs are transphobic?
The dev admitting he said stupid shit in private, supports human rights for everyone, and his personal views should have nothing to do with his work?
Consider the first rule of the Lemmy code of Conduct is:
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.
Thanks for the explanation.
Now I know to stick with lemmy.
the hard-line social democrats all started migrating because communists upset them. I’m an anarchist and don’t mind it so I’m still here
That’s partially true, but not all true at all. Piefed development is way faster currently than Lemmy.
Personally, communists don’t bother me. Transphobic developers, however, don’t make me want to use their software.
Were they hard-line demsocs, or were they really just “progressive” liberals?
I’m probably being too generous, but they do tend to identify as that
The bots are talking to themselves, oh no
Not everyone opposed to trans people being in sports is a bigot.
Yep, I’m a bigot because I don’t want people taking steroids in sports.

Did you think that this was a gotcha?
I’m going to give myself time to look through your comments on my flight. It will be amusing watching the so called “anarchist” swiftly devolve into an authoritarian.
You cultists sure do love your buzzwords.
How many times do you think you’ve said death to America, by the way? I’ll have a count for you by the end of my flight.
Edit: ooh the direct quote of the day
The U.S. did deserve 9/11 though
Yeah. I’m sure this gets worse, and I haven’t even spent longer than 30 seconds looking. You should probably keep the fact that you’re ‘trans’ to yourself, if Lemmy were a bigger platform you would 100% be painting the picture of the ‘mentally ill trans person’ rhetoric the conservatives are pushing. You are literally problematic in your existence.
Nah, you’re a tankie.
You can easily find Anarchists on PieFed either on Quokk.au or Anarchist.Nexus though for anyone who wants to join us.
Why is that supposed to be an insult, I know nothing of tankie But was called one a couple days ago
Tankies are people who supported the use of tanks to attack the civilian protests against the USSR in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia. That became the default term for anyone who supports brutal authoritarian states that suppress the people to assert their control. In modern day context a tankie would be someone who blames Ukraine for being invaded and denies the genocide of the Uyghurs.
Some rightwing/centrists like to use it to insult any leftist. You can just ignore those ones.
I appreciate you for taking the time to explain this to me, mostly sounds like a term people used to other other people
Pretty much it’s a thought-terminating othering. To label someone a tankie is to give license for prejudicially dismissing them.
It’s more of a term to point out that someone is the left equivalent of a Neo Nazi.
Tankies are people who supported the use of tanks to attack the civilian protests against the USSR in Hungary and later Czechoslovakia.
I wouldn’t call fascists or CIA- & bourgeois-backed counterrevolutionaries “civilians.”
- JFK Files Reveal CIA Role in the 1956 Hungarian Uprising The tankies were right
- The 1968 Prague Spring — Counterrevolution as the “Trojan Horse” of Imperialism
- The blueprint of regime change operations - How regime change happens in the 21st century with your consent
I wouldn’t call fascists or CIA- & bourgeois-backed counterrevolutionaries “civilians.”
Fucking hilarious that you whine about the term tankie sounding “othering” to you and then shamelessly trot this line out.
No one buys your tankie gibberish!
I said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again:
ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.
Dessalines, an American, has never lived in Ukraine or russia, doesn’t speak Ukrainian or russian and yet he comes up with bullshit like “putin just wants to show he means business” or “war is war, civilian casualties are fine [as long as it’s Ukrainians]”.
You never had any friends from Hungary or Czesh Republic, you’ve never been there.
The USSR was total trash. Abject poverty, genocidal extermination of the cultrue and language of occupied nations, KGB goons in universities and a corrupt leadership that makes the current oligarch/criminal look like good guys. You’ve likely never met anyone who lived in the USSR.
Thank you for proving my point!
name calling is pretty rude, believe it or not it’s possible to be an anarchist and not use one of your instances. for me I find plenty of other anarchists in my day to day organizing, separate from the internet
Some rightwing/centrists like to use it to insult any leftist. You can just ignore those ones.
oh, noted
probably lemmy.ml
That’s the 3rd worst?
Lol no
We’re not all bad here!
I’m honestly embarrassed by the comments on this post. Is this really the best advice we can offer a newcomer to Lemmy? This internecene warfare between instances is not doing us any favours.
Yeah. Yikes.
The advice is decent actually. It’s the non-advice comments that should just be deleted. Even the advice from that .ml guy is careful. Wouldn’t have caused any issue if someone didn’t pick the fight while fully aware that there will not be a resolution.
Nearly all of that is just a few people flaming out when suspected communists comment in “their” internet spaces, even when those comments weren’t particularly about communism.
To be honest since you can design everything by joining communities you like. I feel like it doesn’t matter
I would like to know which ones are tailored to my interests, so i dont wanna join something like .ml. I remember there used to be a sheet somewhere with endorsements but i cant find it anymore
Endorsements? https://gui.fediseer.com maybe?
Interesting tool.
How is that ML only has two censures:
https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.ml
ML is a tankie instance.
Also fascinating to see DB0 giving an endorsement to ML. Not surprising though.
Censuring completely defederates an instance (at least with threativore) and most instances aren’t defederated with ml anyway, so this makes sense:)
It has recieved two hesitations tho, which are like censures but without defederation
Ah I see. I didn’t realize a censure had a technical component. That being said, by this point not much would be lost with a defederation from ML.
Still a mere two hesitations and tons of endorsements (including DB0).
ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of “bad” ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for “bad” ethnicities.
Sure, they deny this, but from memory all of the Nazis at Nuremberg pleaded not guilty.
People probably don’t want to defederate the flagship instance owned by the devs of the software they’re using.
.ml isn’t significantly worse than hexbear, beehaw, or blahaj.
All of them love censorship to support their narrative.
Yes! Thats the one i remember
Check out slrpnk.net! Environmentalist, anarchist-leaning, very inclusive, with excellent admins and renewable-energy-powered servers.
I’m in a similar boat, though I’ve been present for some time.
Dbzer0 seems like the best “fit” for me, but practically I just want the instance that’s not defederated/blocking other instances.
…Not sure which that is. But I’d look at Piefed before Lemmy, since they work together, but Piefed seems more desirable feature-wise.
Lemmy.sdf.org and lemmy.zip have very lax defederation policies, those might interest you
Do other instances defederate with them, though?
I’d guess the one which seems that it will last more, since you can subscribe to communities of any other instance. You’ll only see a difference if you browse only local posts.
In my case I chose infosec.pub because I want to browse it locally if I want, but my subscribed communities include memes and webcomics for some light time wasters.
You know what’s nice? That we have this option at all. I’m partial to sdf, piefed, and world myself.
Join multiple for when you get banned in some sub.
And donate some money. Don’t waste resources
This thread is wild. I am good on Lemmy. I like sopuli.xyz
