List of communities you see from your instance is just the ones subscribed to by an existing user. You may still find a niche one and have to be the first to manually subscribe.
Yeah, that it’s a far left shithole
Then why even bother leaving a comment?
Because I thought he should know going in
You’re forgetting about hexbear.
99% of the time they’re using so much inside language I have no idea what they’re trying to convey.
Yeah, I’ve also found their comments confusing… I just ignore them now.
At least they’re usually very obvious.
Images that take up far too much screen real estate in every comment tend to do that
You can tell Hexbear is super communist by how much they simp for Putin, an unashamed oligarch who’s so reactionary he gives Desantis wet dreams. The Lemmy instance where horseshoe theory has been hammered into a circle.
That just proves my theory - extreme leftists are not that far from extreme right winged groups.
I’ll gladly forget about hexbear
I’m not sure about the “far” part.
It used to be quite far left, back when tankies were everywhere. Now it’s pretty tame, though you’ll still run into literal socialists/communists from time to time. It’s about where Reddit was when I left, so par for the course.
I consider myself libertarian, and it’s honestly not bad, and I like ragging on conservatives anyway.
Welcome!
Lemmy instances are in the middle of transitioning to a new version (0.19.x). It’s been a bit bumpy. You might notice some changes once this instance upgrades. We’ve been holding back until we’re confident that the new version is stable.
If you need to contact the admins you can message us directly. Or, for a faster response, get into our instance’s Matrix chat: https://matrix.to/#/#sh.itjust.works:matrix.org
The points are made up and votes don’t matter.
They matter in that particular post. Other than that, no, they don’t.
Hey, welcome, glad to have you here!
The one difference to keep in mind is that each community (the subreddit equivalent) and each server (the equivalent of a ‘site’ like Reddit) have their own sets of rules and mods. So when you post to a server that’s not your home, just be aware you are subject to those sets of rules in addition to your home server. You should be fine for the most part if you act with empathy and respect, but no need to take it too hard if a mod informs you that you broke a rule.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to post/comment in niche communities with a small amount of activity, but it’s a good idea to do a community search (under “All” filter) to check if a more active community is present on another server.
Have fun, I’ll see you around!
Welcome!

You should know there are multiple free clients you can use to view content in Lemmy. Try a few and select one you like. I recommend using one that provides the ability to block specific instances, communities, and users. It will improve your experience and reduce frustrations.
What are some good ones?
Boost is my preference
Nope.
Its not reddit by all what that means.
Welcome!
Simultaneously good and bad. IMO, more good than bad.
