I made two posts on !anime@lemmy.ml, neither are visible on both instances lemmy.ml are recommending.

beehaw.org has already become a much bigger instance and they ban lemmygrad, we’re already invisible to half the people using lemmy.

It will keep getting worse, at some point you’ll need to maintain two separate instance accounts and you’ll consider dropping one of them.

      Damn imagine. They really should be paying us tbh, we do some good work lmao. But yeah, to be serious, it always seems wild that China would actively be paying people to do this shit, like have they considered that we actually are just ideologically kind of aligned with the CPC? Much more easy conclusion to come to imo, Occam’s Razor and all that.

        When one’s own income depends on closing one’s eyes to capitalist brutality, it becomes easier to assume that one’s ideological enemies are doing the same thing: ignoring atrocities for a pay cheque.

      That’s been my approach as well. I also find it’s nice be able to post to lemmy.ml from Lemmygrad and not have all the libs from paces like beehaw descend to downvote. So it’s sort of a feature when you think about it. :)

      It didn’t used to be so liberal though right? It seems to me with the flood of people from reddit it flipped overnight into almost the exact same liberal groupthink as reddit had.

          I figure there’s only so much that can be done when you have a massive flood of users joining at the same time. Between dev work and administrating lemmy.ml, dessalines and nutomic must be swamped.

              I’m kinda doubtful about them. Agreeable says he’s ML, but World News where he is also a mod is notorious for not banning even outright fake NATO propaganda and shills and not just now but even before. Wazowski is inactive and seems to be radlib. K_o_t seems to be some kind of vague green supporting Ukraine, no idea who Maya even is, Arthur Besse idk but posted some ukronazi prop before.

        • My conjecture based on disagreements I’ve had with them, their goal is to draw in libs so that the marxists actually have people to educate. Without them it kinda became an echo chamber.

          • lmao how are marxists going to educate them if they’re people are gonna block marxist instances and ban (or outright block) marxist users for being “tankies”?

            most already go “LALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU” if you as much as try to debunk them on lies about the russo-ukrainian war, about china, about dprk anyway; and find marxist solutions to be “too radical”.

              The ones who block or ban us probably aren’t reachable. We can concentrate on constructive discussions with the ones who are interested in evidence.

    If “lemmy is developed by socialists/communists/leftists” is enough for folks to steer clear of it (or move over to kbin, as I’ve seen at least one radlib insist that folks do rather than lemmy), then… “task failed successfully” in my eyes. No real loss.

    To be honest, I can understand, Lemmy being pro-communist. Shouldn’t promote to new users, instances that don’t federate with us, on the other hand let the liberals go there and leave us alone …

    Gonna be honest - it’s currently better to just have an account on lemmy.ml. The reddit format of this site plus the relatively small userbase makes instance blocklists a major headache for communists. Currently, if you want to follow the news on lemmy and have conversation about it, you can’t because all the liberal instances block their users from seeing us.

    I imagine that in the future, there will be a large confederation of liberal instances that will be highly reddit-like and ban communists. Then there will also be a smaller confederation of communist instances. There will also be lemmy.ml with the issues you mention… or maybe the liberals will ban that one too since they refuse to block lemmygrad.

      You are right, I will create an account on lemmy.ml if I can.

      Big IF.

      I’ll just browse lemmygrad from lemmy.ml

      Do you know of any way I can specifically browse Lemmygrad communities from lemmy.ml? The only options are Subscribed, Local and All.

        This is what I’ve always done, but lately I noticed a large uptick in braindead liberal comments. I even did my first user block after about a year and a half. It’s so much nicer to come to lemmygrad.ml though and not have to see all the ass-backwards takes on everything.

    I don’t expect the radlibs that are joining beehaw.org to stay much longer after the Reddit blackout ends, the mentality they have of trying to bully out X political faction they don’t like on lemmy.ml isn’t healthy to building and maintaining any community. This time it’s “tankies”, next month it might be liberals who only buy 99% of the CIA narrative on [insert issue of the month here] instead of 100%.

    Look at it positively comrades, growing our own community here only has benefits and hexbear.net might federate with us soon!

        I heard Hexbear is only going to federate with Lemmygrad. I’m a noob when it comes to this stuff - do you know if that means individual Hexbear users will still be able to post on other instances, and it just won’t automatically show up on the all page for Hexbear users?

          If two instances aren’t federated, users of each can’t interact with eachother. As to Hexbear’s federation plans, from a bit of lurking it seems which instances they will federate with - if they do so at all - is up in the air.

              I’m assumimg here that one instance is blocking the other. If neither instances are blocking eachother but they’re not federated yet either, users can federate by subscribing to community on the other instance.
