I can see that sh.itjust.works has a conservative community like lemm.ee and lemmy.world does; but I’m not able to access it from lemmy.ml via federation. Does this mean that Lemmy now capable of federating at a community level?
Wow. I never even noticed that option before. That’s actually pretty cool.
But kind of sounds like a bug in that case, because if the admins wanted to remove the community then it shouldn’t be possible to view comments from there either.
I feel like it’s so confusing if you just see the comments without the posts. But also the comments are the best part of Lemmy so it kinda makes sense.
I’m already addicted to Lemmy so that’s not an issue
acknowledging that you have a problem is the first step. lol
it shouldn’t be confusing in your case since this conservative community is on your primary instance; so when you see a wtf comment, you’ll be able to get the context easily. someone like me, on the other hand, has to put in effort by searching through the instance itself to understand it.
I just try to avoid it entirely. Every post gets heavily downvoted anyway because conservatives are totally outnumbered on Lemmy. So it’s mostly people mocking them.
i marvel at their users because so many from those instances with conservative sub communities try to persuade the leftists to adopt a “broader political perspective” at the same time the lemmings from their own instances clearly don’t agree, based on how they treat these communities within their own respective folds.
I’m not so sure they want to “persuade the leftists”, I think they probably just want to find other conservatives to validate their feelings. But there isn’t any space for that on Lemmy atm.
They’ll probably need to make their own servers, which will immediately get defederated en masse. But I think Lemmy should be for every human being who seeks knowledge, even conservatives. That doesn’t mean we need to federate with them, but that’s the nature of open source software. You can’t pick and choose who uses it.
i’ve always presumed that they were trying to persuade out of the same ignorance that makes most new lemmings unware that lemmy started off as a leftist safe space that still sustains highly active leftist core groups despite an overwhelming large influx of moderates from reddit’s & twitter’s enshitification.
i also presumed that, that same ignorance makes them unaware there are already several rightist lemmy instances that have been defederated; as you predicted would happen with a conservative-dedicated instance.
however i would have guessed that these conservative communities found the right instances to make a home in .world, .ee and .works since my experience with the users from those instances mirrors american politics; where it’s only major “left wing” party (aka the democrats) are right-of-center when compared to a large majority of the western world.

careful; the comments feed makes it addicting. lol
