Someone give me a long list of communities to join and which ones to avoid. I don’t wanna be near the tankies. Thank you!

Just browse the All feed and subscribe to the stuff you like. At this point many instances block .ml and hexbear, so you'll be fine.

It's grad and hex that most instances defed from, .ml is more subtle and hosts a number of official Lemmy software support forums, so not many do defed from them. Unfortunately.

May I ask what those instances are? I’m assuming .ml is Marxist Leninism (mask off) but idk what hexbear is. Are there any instances which are specific to my interests such as anime and music?

  • lemmy.ml is one of the original instances, run by Lemmy developers Dessalines and crew. ML for them stands for "Marxism-Leninism", not "Mali." They have a reputation for censoring criticism of Russia and China, but have a number of mainstream-ish communities.
  • hexbear recently lost the Hexbear.net domain name due to a registration screwup. Last I heard they are hosted at chapo.chat. They have a reputation for "dunking" on non-tankies.
  • lemmygrad.ml I know the least about, as I've been defederated for nearly my whole Lemmy lifetime. Allegedly pretty tankies.
  • ani.social seems like it may specialise in anime stuff. I blocked several of their communities in grounds of not labelling nsfw. That's about as much as I know.

Update: it seems that hexbear.net is back to hosting hexbear.net.

ani.social seems like it may specialise in anime stuff. I blocked several of their communities in grounds of not labelling nsfw. That's about as much as I know.

The problem is definition of NSFW is different for all Lemmy user. One time I posted a Official Art of !nokotan@ani.social and it got reported for not labelling NSFW. That pic doesn't even have any thing like Fanservice or Showing Clothes. Just normal School Uniform.

"If the 65 year old HR worker would take a second glance, it's Not Safe For Work."

So a gay couple kissing is NSFW and a straight one is fine? That’s what a 65 yo HR worker would say in my experience.

But, I never understand. Why would anyone use Lemmy or any social media at work? I am Teen. So, really asking.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have to be 18 to access lemmy.world (which this thread is on) per Rule #3 of their ToS BTW. That's technically still a teenager so maybe you are of-age, but wanted to mention it.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am on lemm.ee which allow user over 16. So, I am safe I guess? It doesn't even matter I am gonna Turn 18 this July.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This particular thread is hosted on lemmy.world and you must be 18+ to access it.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

So, What .world gonna ban me? They don't have any proof that I am a teenager or just 40 Year Old Man who was roleplaying as a teenager on Internet? Who knows? Banning is also pointless I can create 10 different account on Lemmy. So they can't make me stop using Lemmy. It's already been 1.5 Years now. I had a account .world at first then I moved to lemm.ee.

Hexbear was worse, very pro China/Russia/North Korea, but I think they didn't renew their domain license, so the server went down. Lemmygrad is the same way, I think it's still active. .ml I didn't think is too bad, just block yogthos or whether their name is.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve found it easier to block ML communities. A lot of the people on ML aren’t that bad, but you WILL get banned from the entirety of ML for any criticism of russia china and north korea. The mods really aren’t scared to abuse their power. I’d rather not participate.
