Lemmy is a community of communism and Marxism–Leninism enthusiasts, isn’t it? :D
Try lemmygrad, just don’t expect to get federated
My feed is mostly Star Trek and knitting, tbh.
Give a shout-out to the knitting communities :D been trying to diversify my feed.
I’ll do you one better and copy this list of all the crafty places I’ve found so far in general:
!lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works (direct link) is a brand new one for cross stitch & embroidery, needs more people to join!
!crochet@lemmy.ca (direct link) is the most active crochet one I’ve found, some nice convos happening in there already.
!knitting@lemmy.world (direct link) again there’s a few but this seems most active.
For sewing there seem to be two trying to get off the ground but neither seem super active. I’ll probably just pick one at random and start posting in it if that doesn’t change but they’re !sewing@lemmy.world (direct link) and !sewing@sh.itjust.works (direct link)
!leathercraft@lemmy.ca (direct link) isn’t something I do personally but I do enjoy perving over their projects anyway.
There is content on other instances.
Not ime. There’s lots of reddit discussion now cause it’s pertinent info right now. I’ve found plenty of good stuff besides the communist content. Like normal reddity, not meta, posts.
Lemmy is not any one type of place. It’s whatever we make it. There just happens to be a thriving community of communists here. We’re in the early stages and we’re finding our way.
I find myself thinking, throughout my day, OH I can post this! Where I wouldn’t normally do that.
Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.
I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I’m not a socialist.
Did they block Lemmygrad? I thought they just blocked Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. you may be right though.
I wouldn’t try to make too much sense out of Beehaw’s decisions. I don’t quite understand what they’re going for. Regardless of whether or not they blocked Lemmygrad, I agree with you that there’s a contradiction inherent in the whole idea of having a community about socialism (a topic about overthrowing the current political/economic order) but saying to “be nice” lol
MLs are not the only socialists, much to their dismay. I will never support anyone in any capacity who denies human suffering, I will never support anyone who believes that inflicting pain and suffering on innocent working class people is ever justified.
