Lemmy is a community of communism and Marxism–Leninism enthusiasts, isn’t it? :D

    Not ime. There’s lots of reddit discussion now cause it’s pertinent info right now. I’ve found plenty of good stuff besides the communist content. Like normal reddity, not meta, posts.

    Lemmy is not any one type of place. It’s whatever we make it. There just happens to be a thriving community of communists here. We’re in the early stages and we’re finding our way.

    I find myself thinking, throughout my day, OH I can post this! Where I wouldn’t normally do that.

    Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.

    I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I’m not a socialist.

        Did they block Lemmygrad? I thought they just blocked Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. you may be right though.

        I wouldn’t try to make too much sense out of Beehaw’s decisions. I don’t quite understand what they’re going for. Regardless of whether or not they blocked Lemmygrad, I agree with you that there’s a contradiction inherent in the whole idea of having a community about socialism (a topic about overthrowing the current political/economic order) but saying to “be nice” lol

    Same thing happened on Mastodon after Twitter migration. People are talking about reddit because that’s the big news right now. Give it time. There will be more content.

    Just like reddit, you gotta get off the default main pages. Go to browse.feddit.de and just start looking for communities that interest you. When you find one, tab over to [your.instance]/search and paste its URL or name (it’ll be formatted like !communityname@instance.bluh) into the search bar, click “sidebar” then “subscribe”.

    After you’ve joined a number of communities, you’ll start seeing a more varied bunch of stuff.

    People are going through several stages of grief at the moment. This was all so sudden and feels so unnecessary, it didn’t have to happen and it didn’t have to happen this way. This ended up being toxic on top of toxic.

    Lemmygrad is a Marxism-focused instance and Hexbear is currently making the migration to mainline Lemmy right now.
