As Reddit's enshittification reaches new heights their attempts to suppress attention for alternatives, like federated Lemmy, has the opposite effect as this Hacker News discussion shows.

There's obviously a strong leftist culture here

That depends on what instance you create an user on. For example, Lemmygrad.ml and Lemmy.ml are not the same thing, despite both belonging to Lemmy. The issues I see are having a tankie culture, and not having more points of view.

There are less users so less content

That's something we can help with, although it's not so easy. I mean, the users that are already here, we can create more content and interact more with each other, so eventually more users will come. It can be boring and tiring, but it's not impossible.

Federation is a stumbling block for many people

That's something absolutely new for the vast majority of people. I felt myself confused the first time I joined the fediverse too. But after some time, I felt myself less confused. Some clarifications, tutorials and support can do the real trick.

I have to hope that main instances will stop federating Lemmygrad at some point. There's no place, IMO, for genocide denial/affirmation and authoritarian extremism on platforms like these. Or any platforms.

Edit: Seems this is unfortunately unlikely as the lemmy.ml instance appears to be moderated by a genocide denier and authoritarian.

I don't think lemmy.one is deferated from Beehaw; I'm subscribed to one community there.

1st edit: I forgot this community isn't on Beehaw.

2nd edit: Here's a link of all the instances that Beehaw is federated with, and lemmy.one is one of them. sopuli.xyz and feddit.de too.

3rd edit: Apparently, I'm Jared, 19, and I cannot read. Sorry about that!

I think the person above meant both beehaw and lemmy.one have defederated from lemmygrad.

I'm new here so I don't know much about lemmy.one, but as far as I understand it's lemmygrad, that people have a problem with (being tankie and all that). Maybe you got confused with the names?

[–] darylsun@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

No, I just got confused with the wording OTL

Who has reportedly been banning people for calling out said genocide denial and authoritarianism.

And they removed my comments among others, for calling the Chinese state a colonial and imperialist state.
