Best place to find communities your instance may not already know about is this site
(remote communities only federate over once a user subscribes)
Make sure to have both English and Undefined selected in your profile settings (next release should fix this)
I have no experience with either I’m afraid.
I almost never downvote things…
Welcome! Need any help navigating Lemmy and the fediverse?
You’re right. @abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world put it better.
You’ve gotten good links but I just want to emphasize how there is no running karma aggregate on Lemmy and it’s great. I would make a new reddit account a couple times a year or when I hit 10k because then I would then notice it and it made me uneasy.
I still like to see my posts/comments be well received here but I appreciate that each stands on its own merit.
That stings, but not quite as much as century as with that my brain now has to go through the process of determining which century when it never had to before.
Not what you asked, but I find turn of the century most jarring.
they are sharing protest hat patterns, talking about how to get legal treatments that might get banned, and providing information and resources on how to get urgent location-banned medical care, i.e. abortions.
Even more reason to leave. I understand the hurdles but none of that is remotely safe to discuss on reddit anymore.
There’s the Ford we know 🙄
What are you trying to share?
!druggardening@reddthat.com !cannabiscultivation@slrpnk.net
You may need to do some of the growing there too.
I think what bluesky has over it is you don’t have to choose a server
That’s part of it. But even getting over that, if I make a Mastadon account on a themed instance I don’t even know how to find people more diverse types of people to follow. At least in Bluesky they’re all in one place. And most importantly to me you can share custom feeds on Bluesky.
Bluesky is just kicking the problem down the road for a few years.
At the extreme ends, sure. But we can’t discuss them as if they’re representative of the general concept. I don’t go around identifying myself as a feminist unprompted but I do believe in equality for all. And I don’t see how that means us men will suddenly have to be second class next to women. It’s equality, it’s equal. I’m not suggesting we shift who’s in power but rather we should balance it evenly.
Do you see where I’m coming from at all?
I don’t think it’s brigades, I think people just generally didn’t like the tone. I didn’t vote on this post but I did question the OP’s experience and intent when asking so bluntly and describing it as “marginalization”.
And more to the point, comments such as yours, which equate “feminism” with “misandry” are likely a bigger contributor to why people don’t appreciate this post overall.
There’s definitely more I’ve accumulated over the past couple years but those two come to mind first. There is also a tool that automates the new community federation process here if your admins participate.
Feel free to reach out in the future if there’s anything else I could clear up.
