The Deprogram Podcast

I would also like to add, lemmygrad is very different in culture from reddit. There are very few liberals and chuds wandering in because most of their instances have pre-emptively defederated from us. You may still see them on lemmy.ml (sort of the hub instance) but if their instances are not federating they won't see your comments.

We also moderate differently from reddit and because this is such a tight space you'll see a lot of the same usernames all over, including the admins. We purposely keep the rules on the instance simple so that there's not a whole bunch of stuff to remember and due to the aforementioned tight space, we usually act on community reports as sort of sitewide moderation. Don't hesitate to make reports if you see something off, and please give us as much info as you can in the report so we can make a decision.

This was my attempt at explaining it on Hasan's subreddit:

To clarify, The Deprogram's "community" is hosted at Lemmygrad:

!thedeprogram@lemmygrad.ml

This address is the equivalent of a /r/ subreddit link.

The "instance" is the equivalent of the host/client/app that "reads" it, which would be the equivalent of Reddit here.

You can use any "instance" you want to subscribe/interact with it as long as it doesn't block lemmygrad. (Some of the normie instances do because they're scared of Marxism.)

Some examples of instances would be Lemmygrad, Hexbear, Lemmy.zip, Mander, etc.

The largest Hasan community is hosted at lemmy.world

!hasan_piker@lemmy.world

As long as your instance doesn't block lemmy.world, you should be able to subscribe to both. I'd recommend just sticking with one instance, as having multiple accounts/instances kinda defeats the whole purpose.

If you want to see available instances and communities, I recommend lemmyverse.net.

I have lemmy.zip am I meant to be able to comment here?

Apprently this works, I have no idea why tho.

Reminder to check out c/luxemburgism if you're a luxemburgist or council communist!

Lemmy is pretty fun

Besides the three instances mentioned, which are mostly in English language, are there other recommendations, for other languages? I'd be particularly interested in Castellano/Spanish and Portuguese.

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
