I'm new myself, thanks for the recommendations. While you're at it, do you happen to know of any good political/religion debate .. subs? what are they called here? I'm going to call them subs for now. Maybe some Anarchist and non-tankie Communist subs?
The equivalent to a Reddit "sub" is a Threadiverse "community" (Threadiverse or Forumverse, or maybe just Verse now?, anyway meaning the subset of the wider Fediverse, so like the latter includes Mastodon but the former is only the community-based Lemmy, Mbin, and PieFed).
The anarchy & communism instances are slrpnk.net and lemmy.dbzer0.com. Beware the fake communism, "tankie" triad of hexbear.net (or wherever they moved to, after they forgot to renew their own domain name), lemmygrad.ml, and lemmy.ml. Actually the former 2 should be defederated from you on Lemmy.world already, while the latter is sometimes okay, yet also batshit insane at the same time. You'll see... and if you ever forget to follow one of their entirely unwritten rules (not kidding), you'll be banned from every community on the entire instance, including those you've never even heard of.
Happy explorations!:-)

My 14 year old account was permabanned for making a joke about someone Luigi Mangione-ing Trump. I made another account and they banned that one too. Sounds like the elites are getting a little nervous. Reddit had been getting shittier for a while anyway, excited to see what Lemmy does!
they sitewide ban you if you comment in a sub with the same Ip or device you were permabanned in. i was able to avoid this type of, by using a acct created from another ip, while avoiding the subreddit that you were banned. but this ban wave they find out your old banned/deleted accounts and just straight up ban you with no reason

Ah, fair enough, thanks! // Yeah I looked into Hexbear briefly and it didn't seem like my jam, but I'll check out slrpnk and dbzer0.

They were doing surveys with the mods to see if they could tell between real and bot posts. I half wonder if it's by design and they seed their own bullshit with llms. That is my tiny tinfoil hat for the day. I do the surveys and feed them bad data then tell them they suck in the comments and they somehow have not banned me yet from them lol.
Still counts as "engagement":-)

He moved into the badlands by Liverpool in England. Might have got a job and have no time to post.
I wasn't aware England had badlands

Lemmy.ml is very pro Russia/pro communism
Oh that sucks. Thanks for letting me know!

We need bigger servers, and exponential growth good enough to reach 5 orders of magnitde more

FYI Lemmy is more like 99.98% leftist. There are next to no conservatives here at all, and centrists as usual mostly seem more quiet than extremists, leading to a more apparent leftwing swing.
That's unfortunate, hopefully more instances with more centrist views pop up eventually, I might have to make the first of many. The irony is that the extreme lefties online think that centrists are extreme-right-wing somehow. Boggles the mind.
-
I gotta say, I respect what Lemmy does and hope it succeeds, and I think it's a good place for discussions and such (and I will remain), but good god if this place isn't unfunny as hell. I'm struggling real hard to find some place with actually funny content on here, which leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics.
Part of the problem is many of the users just don't get jokes.
You can post something that is blatant, obvious satire, and no matter how obvious or ridiculous, someone will argue about it.
Much of the userbase is fundamentally unable to understand humour.
Or they upvote anything that aligns with their political views, regardless of quality, see the posts of Pizzacake comics as an example.

It's better than it was a year ago so hopefully with more ex-Redditors it'll diversify even more
I'm not entirely sure targeting Redditors as new users is the best option.

No problem! Federation should resume by the end of the month.
Oh, joy.

Everyone on lemmy.world is a bot but you

Literally seems like 1/4 the comments of Reddit, 1/1000 the userbase. I think between API lockdown and "violence" banning, the entire commenting community of Reddit came here lol.
Unfortunately (?) on Reddit a lot of the comments are from bots - not even just the "everyone I do not agree with must be a bot" mantra but demonstrably as in it is word for word repeated from a duplicate post made often years in the past, presumably resurrected to increase "engagement" and therefore profits.
^THIS. And my ax. I also choose this guy's wife! => all counts as "engagement" from the perspective of an advertiser.
And the humans are toxic AF. I resolved to leave Reddit regardless of whether I came here or not, bc I didn't like what all that argumentation was turning me into. Conversations are just flat better here.

Welcome! To the good place
Uh... in the terminology of the show, Reddit would be The Good Place. (Obligatory fuck spez)

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected]. [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .world account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]
