Have y’all found any other communities since coming from Reddit? If so, what are your favorites so far? Are there any communities you would like to see that you haven’t found?

    I would love to see more art and creative communities, specifically around the creation, recommendation, and sharing of fictional leftist media. I want entertaining stories to read that don’t promote the status quo of Hollywood tropes, comics to share and recommend to others that can subtly plant the seeds of leftist thought, and leftist collabs to bounce creative ideas around.

    I wish the fitness community(s) were more active. Even on Hexbear the fitness community gets like one post ever couple weeks. Comrades need to go on a run and/or lift some weights.

    found some gaming subs! Would like to see more theory and discussion of it specifically. Also world news update would be nice.

      I was thinking it would be nice to have a study group or something similar to that where we could post parts of theory that we’re reading and ask questions or discuss how it’s relevant to modern conditions, stuff like that.

      Also, I think we’ve got a world news community here! I don’t think it’s super active, but we’re still pretty small right now, so that’s kind of expected.

        Please consider using !dm_@lemmygrad.ml as a home for this; exactly what I envisioned for it!

          Is that the dialectical materialism: theory and application community?

              I’m on the Jerboa app, so things work a little differently, but I’m not seeing the checkmark button to join the community. I’ll check the website later to join up!

      Though in its infancy, there is a home for Dialectical Materialism.

      Would absolutely love to see more analysis, Parenti posting, or even excerpts from the OGs we find are relevant as we fulfill our obligation of (re-)reading theory!

    I do like the Books community, but then again, I’m trying to build it.

    Really, anything dealing with the Labor Movement and organizing is fine in my book!

    I’ve founded some communities I wanted to see. One for the Benelux, one for Dutch comrades, and one for Danish comrades. I’ve mostly been active on GenZedong and Communism since those seem to be the most active on this site although I’ve also posted to GenZedongDE

      I haven’t seen one yet. I’m hoping we get plenty of communities started if they aren’t here already.

        I need to discuss the significance of Ruby da Cherry wearing a USSR shirt in one of $uicideboy$ old music videos.

            That’s what we need to get to bottom of. He’s clearly critical of the government and capitalism. I doubt he would wear that shirt for no reason. He is a political person considering he has a political tattoo. He has a tattoo of Cyprus with tanks and the flag of turkey with blood and it says something in Greek about not forgetting. It’s a reference to the Turkey invasion of Cyprus in the 1970s. His father is from Cyprus.

    I want to find some athesit/antitheist community and find a way to block suggestions from religious apologist here. Is there a way to block community suggestion?

      I’m not sure. I haven’t gotten any community suggestions on Jerboa.

          Oh, I do that sometimes for features I’m having trouble with on the app. I know you can block communities. I wonder if that would make them stop showing up in recommendations?

    It would be nice to have some kind of a community for preppers.
