I have noticed that I interact a lot more in Lemmy than I ever did in any social media. Let it be Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter… I am used to be the lurker, but here for some reason things are different. Wonder if more people feel like I do.

I use it less. I find the user-base a) very hostile to diverse opinions and experiences, b) very American-centric, and c) very leftwing and authoritarian.
I also have difficulty with discoverability. If I can’t find good communities, I can’t interact with them.
Yeah I tend to agree on this centiment and I’m generally quite left wing leaning myself the userbase reminds me alot of tankie subs such as r/greenandunpleasent I come here to shitpost not to see posts about the evils of capitalism on the main meme sub I can deal with the American centric posts I think that’s fine just not the hostile userbase Jesus christ there all miserable bastards
I mean for christ sakes my first shitpost got raided by angry conumismist vegan mob you can check it for yourself if ya want
That was basically my first foray into Lemmy too. Angry mobs of activists doing everything they can to ensure Lemmy never becomes popular. Then my Lemmy.ml account got temporarily banned for claiming the Xinjiang genocide is real. They don’t like criticism of China on Lemmy.ml.
They don’t like many things on lemmy .ml I’m fairly certain .ml is the devs instance
Yeah it was the dev I was arguing with: Dessalines.
There are loads of good and great communities within the Fediverse and Lemmy. Maybe the spaces you’re seeking have been defederated?
Are there any good discoverability tools?
Yeah try lemmy explorer
