Not who you asked, but I figured I'd pitch in. Hexbear.net has a good amount of AnComs, as long as you aren't sectarian against Marxists. It's a left unity space, it's where I have my other account. As a Marxist-Leninist, I find Hexbear is generally far more chill and less argumentative because there's a 0 tolerance rule for transphobia, bigotry, liberalism, etc.

Lemmy.ml is far more argumentative due to being more broadly federated, and isn't explicitly anti-Capitalist. I mainly stick here for outreach, not to have a good time or anything. You have more visibility sorting by all, and can access Hexbear from Lemmy.ml if you don't want to make an account on HB, though you lose access to emojis and other HB specific features, like easily accessing the Megathreads for News, General chatting, etc.

You probably wouldn't like Lemmygrad.ml, it's explicitly Marxist-Leninist and is sectarian against Anarchists. I enjoy it, though I don't have an account there. It's accessible from Hexbear.net and Lemmy.ml.

lemmy.dbzer0 is more piracy focused, and has an Anarchist bent. It's accessible from Hexbear.net and Lemmy.ml, but can't access Lemmygrad.ml.

Slpnk.net is socialisty, focused on the Solarpunk aesthetic movement. It can't access Hexbear or grad, but Lemmy.ml and dbzer0 are connected (I think dbzer0 is, at least).

My advice? Browse each locally for a week without making an account, see what sticks. There's no downside to making an account or abandoning your old one, really.

Good to know. Yeah I'm pretty chill with MLs. I enjoy debating politics (and religion and philosophy for that matter), but I see no point in getting cranky in the pants or holding a grudge or whatever about it.

I was dimly aware of Lemmygrad.ml and sorta decided to avoid it so I'll just keep doing that (also I get the impression lemmygrad is defederated on many mainstream instances.) Slpnk.net is the other one I was considering, but it seems kinda dead compared to lemmy.ml or hexbear.

Alright, I think I'll just go ahead and make an account on lemmy.ml and see how it goes. I'm already subbed to many of the communities on it and slrpnk.net and a couple on hexbear (tho I don't seem to see posts on those very often). Thank you for the advice.
