At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

    Lemmy.world is defederated from the major Marxist instances, so you might want to join a different instance for a fresh look. Lemmy in general is small enough to be dominated easily, what helps this is finding a good instance and treating said instance like a community with different tags, rather than treating communities like subreddits.

      I have an account on sh.itjust.works that i rarely use. Then again, do i want to see posts from Marxists, especially the ones defederated from .world?

        Sh.itjust.works is also defederated. If you’re a liberal, then you probably don’t care for Marxism and Lemmy.world is going to be fine, the mods are anti-Marxism as well. You’ll just run into the same issue of having a few posters dominate is all.

            Hexbear is Marxist, yes, and is defederated with sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world.

              Does defederation mean I only can’t make any posts or comments to that instance. Because i can still view and seemingly join hexbear communities on my sh.itjust.works alt.
