It’s much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.
For your memes we have [email protected] and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like [email protected], [email protected]and [email protected] and for a meme science combo there’s always the fantastic [email protected]
You can also drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or hang out at [email protected] (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)
If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check [email protected] or for more general Linux [email protected] and we even have a Linux meme comm at [email protected] (we like Linux around here lmao)
For news [email protected] is excellent and for US focused news [email protected] and [email protected]

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, [email protected] !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!
We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what’s known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won’t be “synced” and you won’t see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout [email protected] ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what’s known as the “modlog”
Obligatory, fuck Spez
Even crossposted post have value as it is sharing information, creating activity and add to the discussion by commenting and sharing.
Regarding the autoritarism it does exists but when self reflecting about autoritarism being in the roots of all Europe and US via 400 year of colonisation and conquest, and curent events not making the self labelled 'Free word’s looks so good,I think it might be a good idea to tone down a bit on the critiscism of others and focus on what can be done in your place make actual tangible progress :)
Never said it did, most of the world’s governments are crap. Most of the world’s governments have done really evil shit. From the US to the CCP to Russia to Japan to the UK. Western or eastern, northern or southern, doesn’t matter.
I am doing what I can to make progress, pushing back against toxic propaganda in my nearest communities (online and offline).
