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.

Well for anarchist/queer/pro-environment, Lemmy.dbzer0.com slrpnk.net and (kinda) Lemmy.blahaj.zone, not officially but tons of anarchists there.

Another important thing to consider is federation policy (if you're looking to make accounts there and not just browse comms from your current acc:)). For example Dbzer0 is the most lax and blahaj is the most moderated, not necessarily good or bad it just depends on what you personally want.

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.

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don't block anyone. I expected chaos, but it's richer. To be fair, I rarely browse 'All,' instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.

Now it's my main account.

PR Edit: I meant no offense to the good people of hexbear, I'm just confused by your ways.

blahaj isn’t particularly hostile toward anarchism or democratic socialism, I don’t think, but it’s largely a liberal instance. It’s defederated from hexbear & lemmygrad, so a lot of socialist content is blocked.

dbzer0 is explicitly anarchist. It blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear.

slrpnk is anarchist-friendly and environmentalist. It blocks both hexbear & lemmygrad.

lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist. It’s federated with everyone except for porn and fascist instances[^1]. The only instances that block it that I can only think of are infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe, and programming.dev.

Quite a few instances are defederated from lemmygrad and/or hexbear. Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world, and lemmygrad only blocks porn and fascist instances.

[^1]: For instance, hilariouschaos, the successor to explodingheads.

I really like Lemmy than Reddit because it smooth and no ad disturb!

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.

Check out slrpnk.net! Environmentalist, anarchist-leaning, very inclusive, with excellent admins and renewable-energy-powered servers.

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.

You know what's nice? That we have this option at all. I'm partial to sdf, piefed, and world myself.

To be honest since you can design everything by joining communities you like. I feel like it doesn’t matter

none. join a piefed instance instead.

probably lemmy.ml

It's hard to guess why you're dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.
