Lemmy is a community of communism and Marxism–Leninism enthusiasts, isn't it? :D

My feed is mostly Star Trek and knitting, tbh.

Give a shout-out to the knitting communities :D been trying to diversify my feed.

I'll do you one better and copy this list of all the crafty places I've found so far in general:

[email protected] (direct link) is a brand new one for cross stitch & embroidery, needs more people to join!

[email protected] (direct link) is the most active crochet one I've found, some nice convos happening in there already.

[email protected] (direct link) again there's a few but this seems most active.

For sewing there seem to be two trying to get off the ground but neither seem super active. I'll probably just pick one at random and start posting in it if that doesn't change but they're [email protected] (direct link) and [email protected] (direct link)

[email protected] (direct link) isn't something I do personally but I do enjoy perving over their projects anyway.

Try lemmygrad, just don't expect to get federated

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

There is content on other instances.

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.

Beehaw added [email protected] 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.

Look across all the communities. There's a lot of content about reddit since many of us migrated, but theres also other content.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
