    It is a little weird that everyone here seems to be a communist. Does the platform attract the mindset or does the mindset gravitate to the platform? Just something I’ve noticed…

      It’s a bit of both, but it’s also instance specific. Most of it comes from lemmygrad, because there is a lot of cross federation between users and groups on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. On a smaller instance without much interaction with lemmygrad, you won’t see the same scenario

      On Lemmy yes, but on Mastodon (at least in Italian instances) like 99,9% of people are pro-us hegemony and American imperialism 🥶🥶🥶

      Yeah, being more politically neutral would be a big advantage, i guess being smaller means more radical people tend to be here

    Yeah, been considering migrating to a non-Mastodon instance. Not sure where, though. Wouldn’t mind using Lemmy as my entrypoint to the Fediverse, but I don’t think, you can follow individual users here…

      I’m using Lemmy, and you’re right. I’m liking it though, and am considering donating to it.

      It’s very light, though.

      I like Calckey the most as it has the best thread view out of all fediverse software.
      Akkoma is simpler and more lightweight if you prefer that, but I find its thread UI hard to grasp.

      Akkoma is also nice and Calckey seems to gain popularity fast.

    Something I’ve not noticed while using the fediverse that isn’t touched on in the article is the role of what I’ll call “middle ground” instances and communities. You might be on instance A and visit a community on instance B. Someone from instance C is also visiting the community on instance B. If no one from instance A searched for any communities on instance C, and likewise for the reverse, users on the 2 instances might not see each other anymore even if the instances are federated.

    I use lemmy from lemmygrad and see accounts from instances that I might not think to search for had I not already come across them.
