"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

MODERATORS
Welcome to your new online home!
Whether you’ve just joined out of curiosity after the banning of the original r/TheDeprogram or you’ve decided to leave Reddit for good, I’m glad that you’re here and this megathread is for you!
Instead of having multiple comments across different posts, which might make it difficult to see, you can now ask your questions and post your feedback here.
Can I get a TLDR?
You sure can!
- Choose an Instance
(For Marxist/Leftist communities, I recommend one of the following 3. Each of these Instance explain their values and moderation policies in more details on their pages):
-
Sign up and personalize your profile
-
Choose how to browse
(You can find a lot of options right here and right here too based on your preferences. You can use an app or an alternative front-end)
- Find your favorite communities to subscribe to
(Instead of subreddits, here we have communities!)
- That’s it! You’re ready to interact with other lovely users and engage in the community
If you want to share your opinion after joining Lemmy, seek feedback on the best browsing apps, or discuss anything else, feel free to do so right here!

I'd only add that I find lemmy largely a friendly place overall but watch out for hostile libs on the larger instances, especially lemmy.world
Excellent addition!
To expand a bit on this: just like the main 3 leftist Instances I mentioned before (Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net), there are also many different Instances here on Lemmy (such as lemmy.today and lemmy.world).
However, none of those other Instances are openly Marxist/Leftist. In some cases, some of the users from those other Instances can be openly hostile to leftist users because...they're deeply unserious libs or reactionaries in general lol.
But fear not! First of all, because the mods are here precisely to make sure those unserious users don't cause drama in our community. But also, because a few of those leftist Instances (Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net to be specific) have defederated from those more reactionary Instances.
Defederation is simply the process by which a specific (and reactionary) Instance is no longer allowed to interact with/share content with other leftist instances across Lemmy.
I love it here.
