Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol
For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz and !biology@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo theres always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz
You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)
There's much more around as well!
Obligatory, fuck Spez
I think Beehaw isn't on the good list here because the account that shared the meme is on Lemmy World which isn't federated with Beehaw.
So it's a lack of knowledge of the users that left it off not any nefarious intent.
But that's my 2 cents.
I thought Beehaw defederated from everyone else during the first mass reddit migration in 2023. It's not surprising not a lot of people know about them.
I still get Beehaw posts on my instance too. They're nice people.
Ya know what, I just looked at their instance page for the first time and their community rules show that they appear to have their head on straight and are setting good policy. I'll have to try to get an account there and see what I've been missing.
They really are a community of nice people trying to protect their peace, as far as I've seen. They just defederated from instances with open registration due to influx of trolls, and a lot of users from those groups got offended over it. It was minor drama, but nothing offensive. It's a bit sad that they're still being vilified over it.
Got my account and started reading and posting today, and you're right, they are nice people. I had somehow mixed up Beehaw and Hexbear in my head. Big mistake.
I may end up moving over there as primary just because I'm so tired of the trolls myself.
Yay, I'm glad you like it there! It's definitely more slow moving than the rest of Lemmy, but I like their weekly community chats and stuff. Also a killer gardening community.
Not us 🫶 I enjoy the Beehaw communities I subscribe to
Beehaw is like the Elks Lodge of the Lemmyverse. From the outside they look exclusive, mysterious, and enticing. Inside, there's just a few drunk guys singing karaoke.
At least that's my assumption. They wouldn't let me in because I refused to write a paragraph about why I wanted to join an instance that I knew virtually nothing about. Even the Elks Lodge wasn't that picky.
They still federate with some instances. They're just like everyone else, but have strict rules about not being a jerk.
I knew of Beehaw, but they got left off mostly because last I heard they were extremely selective on who they federated with.
My personal opinion of Beehaw is, I have none unlike The Tankie Triad where i've experienced and seen the games they play. Then again, I think BH does fed with them, so if they're so selective to do that...
This is why I'm glad I'm on lemme.ee, and I have the option to choose for myself as they don't really defederate any of the main instances.
As far as it goes, I'm just here for good memes and good conversation. Anytime someone goes into tankie territory, I just go to another thread. Live and let live, even if I disagree (until someone verges into nazi territory).
In this case the choice isn't yours. I'm not aware of any server that defederated from Beehaw. Beehaw was the one that blocked most everyone else. They could choose to block lemm.ee if they wanted to for any reason.
