Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.

    I’ve been here about a year now. Good times. Your voice counts on lemmy in a way it really really doesn’t on reddit. People will engage with you because you’re human and say human things. It’s much more welcoming for people who like to talk somehow than reddit ever was. Don’t know why.

    By the way, people talk a lot about how lemmy.world censors luigi, but I use lemmy.world and see, upvote and sometimes comment on plenty of luigi stuff without mod intervention. Maybe it’s just one of two communities (subreddits) where it’s enforced.

    If you’re a communist and don’t like to hear China (or sometimes for some weird reason Russia) criticised, and if you feel that the USA is the Imperialist power that needs to be broken first, you’ll feel most at home in lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, but also lemmy.ml if you want to keep access to stuff from lemmy.world.

    If you’re progressive or liberal, you’ll be fairly happy here on lemmy.world. If you’re a conservative, I don’t know where to recommend you.

    There are various country specific ones you might find suit you for other reasons.

    All in all I’m not sure it matters a great deal as much as it sounds in my post. People from different instances turn up and say stuff anyway.

    The best advice is that you don’t have to lurk as much as you used to on reddit, you can show up and engage and the conversation will start around you.
