Lemmy is a community of communism and Marxism–Leninism enthusiasts, isn’t it? :D
There is content on other instances.
Try lemmygrad, just don’t expect to get federated
Not ime. There’s lots of reddit discussion now cause it’s pertinent info right now. I’ve found plenty of good stuff besides the communist content. Like normal reddity, not meta, posts.
Lemmy is not any one type of place. It’s whatever we make it. There just happens to be a thriving community of communists here. We’re in the early stages and we’re finding our way.
I find myself thinking, throughout my day, OH I can post this! Where I wouldn’t normally do that.
Same thing happened on Mastodon after Twitter migration. People are talking about reddit because that’s the big news right now. Give it time. There will be more content.
Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.
I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I’m not a socialist.

Tankies aren’t socialists. They’re fascists.

MLs are not the only socialists, much to their dismay. I will never support anyone in any capacity who denies human suffering, I will never support anyone who believes that inflicting pain and suffering on innocent working class people is ever justified.

People like having really strong opinions on things that they either don’t understand or are blatantly wrong about.
I…I don’t think you know of what you speak
Did they block Lemmygrad? I thought they just blocked Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. you may be right though.
I wouldn’t try to make too much sense out of Beehaw’s decisions. I don’t quite understand what they’re going for. Regardless of whether or not they blocked Lemmygrad, I agree with you that there’s a contradiction inherent in the whole idea of having a community about socialism (a topic about overthrowing the current political/economic order) but saying to “be nice” lol
Why would it be?
Lemmygrad isn’t socialist though lol.
No. Lemmygrade is an ML instance. Afaik, lemmy.ml is just vaguely leftist.
People are going through several stages of grief at the moment. This was all so sudden and feels so unnecessary, it didn’t have to happen and it didn’t have to happen this way. This ended up being toxic on top of toxic.
Only if that’s all you look at.
Lemmygrad is a Marxism-focused instance and Hexbear is currently making the migration to mainline Lemmy right now.
Next week will be the last time the third party apps to be available to the reddit users. So expect to have more reddit angst next week.
My feed is mostly Star Trek and knitting, tbh.
Give a shout-out to the knitting communities :D been trying to diversify my feed.
Just like reddit, you gotta get off the default main pages. Go to browse.feddit.de and just start looking for communities that interest you. When you find one, tab over to [your.instance]/search and paste its URL or name (it’ll be formatted like !communityname@instance.bluh) into the search bar, click “sidebar” then “subscribe”.
After you’ve joined a number of communities, you’ll start seeing a more varied bunch of stuff.
I’ve thrown content i find interesting on the beehaw communities. Yall gotta start posting content(no, meta posts about reddit is not content)
