Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Lemmy.world is defederated from the major Marxist instances, so you might want to join a different instance for a fresh look. Lemmy in general is small enough to be dominated easily, what helps this is finding a good instance and treating said instance like a community with different tags, rather than treating communities like subreddits.
I have an account on sh.itjust.works that i rarely use. Then again, do i want to see posts from Marxists, especially the ones defederated from .world?
Sh.itjust.works is also defederated. If you're a liberal, then you probably don't care for Marxism and Lemmy.world is going to be fine, the mods are anti-Marxism as well. You'll just run into the same issue of having a few posters dominate is all.
IIRC, sh.itjust.works refederated with hexbear several months ago. I just don't think the userbase engages in a lot of those communities.
Then again, I browse by All New pretty frequently, and I've never seen a hexbear post that way that I can recall. So idk.
I thought hexbear was marxist. Oh well i guess I'll stick to seeing the same users
Hexbear is Marxist, yes, and is defederated with sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world.
Does defederation mean I only can't make any posts or comments to that instance. Because i can still view and seemingly join hexbear communities on my sh.itjust.works alt.
Interesting, when are the latest posts in those communitues?
[email protected] has a post as early as 2 days ago
Huh, I haven't seen any sh.itjust.works comments on Hexbear, and sh.itjust.works is an anti-marxist instance as well. Interesting, could be a weird federation thing.
Yeah i probably can't comment. Who knows, I haven't tried, but i can view posts alright
The ownership class will tremble before a communist revolution! We have nothing to lose but our chains!
