My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".

Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:

Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right

Lemmygrad Exploding Heads

Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world

Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works

Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty

Far Left	Centre Left	Centre Right	Far Right
Lemmygrad			Exploding Heads
Hexbear	Lemmy.ml	Lemmy.world
Beehaw	Pricefield Lemmy	Based Count	sh.itjust.works
Blåhaj Lemmy	Divisions by zero	Lemmy NSFW	Hack Liberty

Blahaj zone and beehaw don't abuse defederation. Both instances use it for the exact purpose needed to achieve their goals. And I like that.

[-] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Literally the main reason I'm on blahaj zone is because I'm a trans lesbian and really don't want to deal with the shit I've seen on the blocked instances.

The whole point of the fediverse is you join one that aligns with your values and queer phobic stuff is a hard line nope from me. It's like the one place I feel reporting stuff actually does something.

[-] Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 8 points 1 year ago

I don't disagree with that, I even said that much in the blahaj quadrant. I just wish there was an easier way to fix these problems instead of burning bridges, because they sure burn a lot of them.

[-] Adramis@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Burnt bridges can't be rebuilt. Refederation is always a possibility.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Beehaw has said they won't defederate until Lemmy has better moderation tools. Which is something that is totally out of our control. I have no idea of better moderation tools or even on the road map and if they are I have no idea where on the road map they are.

[-] Adramis@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

No one does, there's a whole discourse around the lack of a real roadmap for Lemmy and what the primary devs' goals are. Hopefully it'll happen someday, I guess.

[-] Rinnarrae@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Beehaw even said they'll refederate with certain instances if/when moderation tools improve. The main problem is that there's not a lot you can do to block off problematic users from instances on an individual basis.

[-] green_witch@beehaw.org 34 points 1 year ago

If people took more than 30 seconds to read instead of being immediately reactionary, they'd have long since known beehaw's defederations are due to a lack of lemmy's own moderation tools currently.

But you can't expect anyone to read anything. 😅

[-] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I did read their entire statement, and while I can understand the reasoning behind it, I don't agree with their whole defederation thing they have going on

Political compass is a cringe concept ngl

[-] jackalope@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Believing in it is. As a tool of expression it has limited uses. But ultimately it's an abstraction ungrounded from objective reality.

[-] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago

isn't the option to ignore an instance as a user coming to Lemmy real soon? I need that, hexbear can go fly a kite

[-] Alfiegerner@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Some apps have it, I use it on Connect.

[-] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~hmm yes sadly Sync doesn't have that option yet. But~~ that combined with a browser extension to filter posts on the website could work fine tho

[-] shadeless@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

sync does have that option. its in the settings under filters, you can filter whole instances

/edit: settings->general->filters->instance filters

[-] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

oh nice, thank you!

Yes it is. Hopefully with 0.18.5, I'd like to think it's been made a higher priority now.

[-] rarely@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

This compass is almost as stupid as the original political compass. Nice work with this unscientific filth.

[-] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I bet OP's understanding of politics can be succinctly summarized by this video lol

Like in what world does lemmy.world lean to the right? It's full of leftists and liberals, I think I've seen like two people who sounded like they leaned to the right.

[-] rarely@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

"I went to the instance and read a post and it was right wing so they are right wing"

TIL i am right wing because I have an account on lemmy.world. now that's scyense!

Is there an ijustwanna.grill?

[-] alokir@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy.be would be a good domain for grill centrists

[-] cazyius@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I’m in the Lemmy.world bubble trying to educate myself about the rest and evaluate if I might need to migrate someplace else. And also trying to figure out the difference between instances. But I can’t figure out what “based” means or is referring to?

Thanks for this btw! It’s really informative

[-] lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

"Based" means the person using it thinks whatever they're referring to is incredibly awesome, a paragon of virtue.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I'm going to ~~shill~~ suggest lemm.ee, it's a lovely instance that isn't defederated from most (for better or worse, some people can't stand hexbear but soon lemmy will add the ability to block instances at the user level, rather than defederating) and the lead admin is very sharp with the development - he's even helped other instances when they've had major issues and he's made various contributions to the lemmy codebase. It always feels like we're getting the latest and slickest version of everything, with fewer bugs than other instances.

[-] Kroxx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yup I was on world and switched to lemm.ee and I love it for the above reasons

You’re absolutely right about pricefield lemmy, it’s super cute.

[-] Lanky_Pomegranate530@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago

As a former user of lemmy.world. I agree with this meme. That place is even worse than reddit.

Shit just works almost allowed 1 conservative community is your bar for far right? Lol I'd say they're pretty centrist but I don't know the details of the banned community.

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Where do you place us Sopuli users, QuentinCallaghan? 😃

[-] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

You didn't include that hardcore libitarian crypto instance who made it to all yesterday with one of their users spamming about how taxation is theft.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Monero.town? Yeah, that user was nutty.

[-] p05@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So that's why Ive not been seeing half my subscriptions. Guess I gotta swap instances again.

[-] JoShmoe@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Where would you place the diy focused lemmies?

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

I dunno, ask the maker of this, @Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com.

[-] JoShmoe@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

I guess I’m off to meet my maker. Later nerds!

Well, you're not wrong.

[-] Moc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How do I move instance, and can I take my shit-posts with me?

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

You're not a true lemming unless you have accounts in all of them.

Everything at the top of that can just go away. I don't mind left or right wing necessarily. but their complete unwillingness to even concede the other people may have a point is infuriating. Interacting with them is pointless.
