What commonly defederated instances' communities are worth subscribing too? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

Most of my original subs come from .world so I don’t know what’s worth following on .ml, lemmygrad, hexbear, etc.

Maybe I could even extend this question to what communities in non major instances are worth subing too.

Well, if you want a sense of what the founder on .ml believes in, go to worldnews@lemmy.ml.

07 to Alsephina, shreddiebiologist, Peter Link, Arthur Besse, IndustryStandard, NightOwl, yogthos etc.

A sense of what the geopolitical fowks on Hexbear believe in, go to news@hexbear.net, specifically their megathreads (sometimes they reach 1000 comments, sometimes maybe 2 or 3 kilos)

for lemmygrad.ml's beliefs, just check any news area there (no big megathreads there; tis a small site there)

lemmygrad and hexbear are Marxist-Leninist

might not be a good idea unless you consider yourself to be a Marxist-Leninist

also, there were once a fascist instance exploding-heads that were defederated by many instances, they no-longer exist, but it just shows not every ban is unjustified

as for people in lemmy.world: Your admins blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

not jolly, not jolly at all 😾🏴‍☠️

i suspect that hexbear is the most active instance on lemmy by far; but if it wont be good for you if you can't handle genz/gena sensibilities or are not atleast vehemently anti-capitalist.

most active instance on lemmy

In the case of "frequently defederated"? Or in General?

Looking at FediDB (which seems a little broken), it seems like Lemmy.World is tripling their monthly posts.

both. lol

i think it's a symptom of the sensibilities of genz clashing with older generations; sort of like millennials clashing with boomers but to a MUCH more significant degree.

you can see how well above it's weight hexbear is punching when it comes to active users; communities like slop, badposting, and chapotraphouse in particular.

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, 100%. In terms of posts per active user, they look to be killing it.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

and it also doesn't include the people who aren't on hexbear; but still posting there.

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

That makes the stat worse, not better, no?

Uncounted users means fewer posts per user.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 55 minutes ago

It is for hexbear since it means that others whose post there aren't counted if their primary instance isn't hexbear

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You can go to the specific instance you have in mind and browse "Local" every once in a while.

I'm doing my part to pour shit into shitposting on .ml
