Yes, and I’ve even cross-posted from one community to another trying to reach more help when I asked a question in the Linux help communities.
yes
Several, and thank you for making me aware of those in the OP, I was until now only subscribed to one of them.
Yes
Yes
Aye.
Yes and it’s annoying. That disperses even further the already small communities
Yes, but I only post to one at a time.
Not all heroes wear capes.
I do, though.
yes.
Yes, it’s kind of amusing you didn’t cross-post this, in fact.
it’s not a bug, it’s a feature, also, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature
Also, a bug it is not - but a feature.
A bug it is not, a feature it is.
Yes
Yep. There’s not really enough content in a lot of single Instance communities, but when you sign up for all of them it gets to a reasonable degree of activity.
Yes with the exception that I block every single .ml community. When I post I generally choose the most popular one.
Curious. Why are you blocking .ml?
They remove any comments critical of their ideology so I rather not deal with them at all. ML stands for Marxism-Leninism incase you weren’t aware.
Some of their communities are also insanely aggressive compared to their .world counterparts, both in spirit and moderation. Really best to stay away from them, if at all possible.
Ah, I see. I happen to be a Marxist Leninist l, but if they censor people as you described then I’m not for that and it actually goes against socialism.
They tend to actually remove comments for being chauvinist and for some reason that seems to rub certain people the wrong way.
Yes, and highly ironically, they act as teen edgelords and some people get banned precisely for being Marxist Leninists. Notably, the bans are often instance-wide, not just a community, and include being banned from communities that the recipient has never so much as heard of, much less posted problematic content into. Even a single sentence such as “the Tiananmen Square massacre actually happened” seems enough to trigger that. In short, like “conservative” Trump supporters in the USA, their claimed political affiliations are beside the point, and the reality is an echo chamber of misinformation and circle-jerking.
The caveat is that the instance admins also include developers of the Lemmy sourcecode so… Also it is one of the oldest Lemmy instances, predating its spread out to the rest of the world. Hence other instance admins do not want to defederate from it. Upcoming updates to the Lemmy sourcecode are also exclusively posted there (afaict, I mean other than raw GitHub).
Anyway, the people who get incubated inside of that echo chamber then come out into the rest of Lemmy, and many of us do not appreciate that.
The more you know.
The more you know. Thanks.
Because they’re tankies.
