Having them pointed towards lemmy.ml is a little concerning.
I made an alternative linking to lemm.ee
because in general this is a good flyer
We should do a bunch of them with varying non-Tankie instances
Like programming.dev or lemmy.blahaj.zone
Or maybe even better, have a small table at the bottom with their focuses
Yeah. join-lemmy.org unfortunately isn’t great because it often points to random semi dead instances.
Something like,
The instance you join doesn’t matter much — because you can access all content no matter what instance you are on — but it can be nice to be on an instance that shares you interests and values, because you will have to conform to the rules of that instance. Think of it like your clan — it’s like your email being yourname@yourworkplace — you can still email everyone else and see their emails, but it signals something about you, and it has different rules.
Here are a couple options:
General Purpose:
- discuss.online (hosted US)
- lemm.ee
- lemmy.cafe
- sh.itjust.works (hosted Canada)
Interests:
- mander.xyz (Science)
- programming.dev (Programming)
- infosec.pub (Cybersecurity)
- lemmynsfw.com (Porn)
Diversity:
- lemmy.blahaj.zone (LGBTQ+)
Regions/Langauges:
- jlai.lu (French)
- feddit.org (German)
- lemmy.ca (Canada)
- aussie.zone (Australia)
Ideology:
- lemmy.dbzer0.com (Anarchism and Piracy)
- slrpnk.net (Environmentalist Leftists)
- lemmy.ml (Authoritarian Leftists)
Please copypaste my comment and add instances / improve it
I like the idea, but people have said several times that choosing an instance is a barrier for them.
I usually go with
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"

To be fair, it was apparently posted in r/anarchocommunism, so I'd just chalk it up to knowing your audience. At least it was just .ml, and not grad or hexbear!

Capitalism destroyed our government, captured our constitution, and is literally ending the world (for humans, don't worry it'll be fine in a few million years and it'll be like we never existed, thank goodness for that).
I find comedy in people likely here due to the greed rot of Spez wanting to go public and now fondling billionaire balls still, here on Lemmy like digital refugees in the wake of capitalism breaking promises to and destroying a community to increase private profit, going "ewww commies and socialists."
Credit where it's due, the capitalist's Orwell game is God tier.
.ml would be worse than Reddit if they had the same number of users.
More than a little concerning, it's happened plenty of times before. People see that BS on the Tankie Triad and then leave thinking Lemmy is just a bunch of tankies
Sometimes they try another non-Tankie instance and realize that we're not all like that, but I'm sure a majority never return always thinking that all of Lemmy is "that Tankie hangout" or worse, a Voat 2.0
I'm not very into Lemmy, what's so bad about lemmy.ml?
They're part of the Tankie Triad who deny the human rights violations of the CCP and hold them up as the gold standard.
Basically Authoritarian bootlickers pretending to not be authoritarians
It's controversial. It was created by the creators of Lemmy and has some techbro feelings about a lot of stuff. I'm not trying to start an .ml fight, I'm against pushing for any particular instance.
I would recommend new users to stay away from the biggest ones and steer towards one level down. You want enough communities and instances to line your front page, but the big ones are big enough. Let's spread the load.

runs from censorship
goes to Lemmy.ml
I think that kind of defeats your point here
.world straight up blocks /c/piracy and "preemptively" blocked hexbear.
They blocked piracy for like a day over a year ago and then unblocked it when the users were clearly against it.
Hexbear being blocked is a good thing and overwhelmingly supported by the users.

lemmy.dbzer0.com then? 😎
- blocking hexbear is a good idea
- ~~world unblocked priacy instances over a year ago~~ with the notable exception of the db0 instance
World went back and banned dbo piracy comm after banning then unbanning when people noticed

Imagine running from censorship and going to Lemmy.ml lmao
Right? Way to destroy a movement and make a bunch of people run back to Reddit and "never again".

.ml? hope they know.
what's wrong with my instance? its a real question, i dont use lemmy that often
Extremely sensitive admins who ban people from all communities for any criticism of China, Cuba and North Korea.
It's a running joke on Lemmy at this point.
oops, i should migrate

It's a little bit dramatic, it's a little bit wordy.
Yup, it probably is a genuine thing from the source: certainly, it was written by a redditor.
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Yeah, this is a terminally online manifesto that I couldn't even get through. It's roleplay and storytelling, which is what our species is great at, but it doesn't connect with reality beyond that.
Look guys, if you want to engage in some kind of organized social action that will actually make a difference, turn off social media entirely. You moving from reddit to lemmy feels good in a micro-narrative, but nobody cares, it won't change anything for anyone. It's not bad, but it's not some heroic action either.
You can do so, so much more for the causes you care about by GOING THE FUCK OUTSIDE.

revolutions are born in monents like these
Holy shit can this whole thing be any more corny? Is this done by teenagers? Don’t get me wrong fuck Musk/reddit/etc. but what is even the outrage about this time?
Subreddits are being banned and important information being hindered from being seen. It may be corny to you but at least they're trying. What have you done?

Haha who the hell made this? This reads like a basement dwellers wet dream. "fight the man! Fight the machine!.....from our keyboards!"
Does it wax poetic? Yeah, sure.
Is it right? Yes.
Is it from our keyboards? So what? That's how it starts. If we don't congregate and open communication about what's happening in a space where we can't be censored, then there's no chance of anything in opposition happening.
It borders on cringe, but I support it 100%.
They should really include the no ads thing. I think it's a great selling point, and it would be useful to leverage.

While I agree with the message, that the people should leave all centralized Social Media services, the big mistake here is concentrating a massive user-base on one instance (.ml) of one specific service (Lemmy) instead of spreading the influx towards many smaller, but still solid instances and federated services (PieFed, Mastodon, MBin).
Even disregarding .ml's reputation, if this post does reach a substantial user-base, the only thing happening then is .ml receiving a HoD and people losing faith in the Fediverse as a whole (e: spelling) due to this, sadly. :c

I love it, but I fear for the day Lemmy becomes so popular that it is worthwhile for the corporate bots to begin gaming Lemmy’s algorithm to dominate front pages. I don’t think Lemmy is prepared to defend against this.

ITT: reddit 2.0 normies (read .world) crying about .ml again
Yeah, us "normies" prefer to go to places that don't ban you for not passing their purity test.
I saw it being denounced as a psyop which I thought was funny, since I think it pretty clearly isn't one. But directing people to lemmy.ml is bad advice as most of us know.
