I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.

For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!

edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.

    I quite like that Beecaw doesn’t federate the Tankies.

    I don’t really need a genocide denying group ofauthoritarians in my face first thing in the morning.

        GenZedong and other communities shilling on lemmygrad. Some of these accounts post multiple pro-china, pro-russia, anti-usa articles per hour. I’m all for open discussion, but accounts like that are just propaganda pumpers

        To be clear, not everyone and everything on lemmygrad is a tankie shill. We need places that are safe for discussion of political ideologies. But I mention lemmygrad because that’s where the tankies seem to be flocking

        You’re going to need a lot more of those to live up to the great Reactionary Counter-Revolutionaries so widely admired by tankies.

          Reactionary counterrevolutionaries like you? You probably work for the monarchists.
