I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.

Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.

    I think they were mostly reasonable, with some complaints like how they banned piracy communities for a while and also banned/removed a community about magic mushrooms.

    I disagreed with their federating with Threads, so I hopped over onto feddit.de because they are defederated from Threads and tankie instances. That’s the beauty of the fediverse tho.

    But you can view the de/federated instances lists for every instance and see if you agree with it. Different apps may have different routes/capability, so I’d recommend opening it in a browser and scrolling to the bottom of the page to find the link: “instances”

    To make it easier for you, here’s the instances list for lemmy.world.

      that’s the same list i just replied 7 minutes ago lol

      most of these are blocked for incredible NSFW or MAGA. There are extremely few I don’t understand, such as kbin.cafe and some foreign-language instances that seem okay.

      I wish there was an anchor that just lets you skip to the bottom.

        Ah, yeah I had the comments of this post open for longer than 6 minutes, so your comment wasn’t visible to me.
