My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or “how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme”.
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
| Far Left | Centre Left | Centre Right | Far Right |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lemmygrad | Exploding Heads | ||
| Hexbear | Lemmy.ml | Lemmy.world | |
| Beehaw | Pricefield Lemmy | Based Count | sh.itjust.works |
| Blåhaj Lemmy | Divisions by zero | Lemmy NSFW | Hack Liberty |
Ugh. So now I need to migrate to yet another instance…
Small instances is the best way to enjoy the fediverse. You get to sit on the sidelines, laugh at the losers that get caught in defederation drama while remaining able to access every community on every instance.
I’m not saying that you should necessarily move here, there’s plenty of other instances out there. Howeeeeeever… ;)
Im on lemm.ee, where do we stand? Idk who we defederated tbh
As I said I didn’t know much about lemm.ee but that policy is tremendously based.
I made this tool just yesterday to check that. Don’t try to use it, it’s currently broken because too many people used it and dried up my free use quota.
Anyway, IIRC lemm.ee hasn’t been defederated by anyone. You can see who they have defederated over here. There’s Meta threads, a few porn instances as well as a bunch of other lemmies I don’t really know. Maybe they’re spam instances, idk.
I knew that tool was going to rocket to popularity. Simple QoL things like that that Lemmy needs.
In a parallel universe, you’d be swimming in gold and platinum coins kind stranger lol
Thank you, I really appreciate it. Meanwhile, in this universe, I might have to pay $20 just to keep the lights on lol.
I actually quite enjoy seeing some instances push to compete and take “customers” away from other, especially larger, instances. It’s almost like market forces are possible
Oh shit pcm is here? Been waiting for you losers, based and took ya long enough pilled!
Heads up BTW lemmy.world didn’t defederate us last I checked, they blocked our piracy community (still lame) but I think I can still interact with lemmy.world, their users just can’t see !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com posts.
Also, not sure we’re as libleft as we seem. They asked “favorite anarchists” and the farthest left my list got was “SEKIII,” also had RAW, Lysander, and Murray in there, and they let me in, so it can’t be tooooo left, I think we’re technically monke.
Based and welcome pilled. Actually we’ve been around for over almost two months now. The instance isn’t as old because at one point during our first two weeks I fucked up and accidentally deleted the database. Ooopsie.

Well my bad on that one, then. I was sure I had read the word “defed” somewhere, but seeing as neither of those is my instance I didn’t care enough to verify.
I don’t doubt you guys are libs, I just wasn’t sure whether to put you on the left or right side. Personally I classify anarchism as more of a left thing than a right one, so that’s where it came from.
Oh I’ve been here for 2y lol, just on .ml before db0.
Yeah no problem, just letting you know.
And yeah monke is libcenter, I’d say considering they let me in knowing who I liked, they can’t be fully green. And there are right leaning forms of anarchism and right anarchists, if right v left = individualism v collectivism.
My apologies, ancient one lol
I’d say considering they let me in knowing who I liked
This reminds me, I really should start working on adding flairs to this instance, it’s hard to remember what side people are on without the funni colours next to their names.
Def need the funni colors.
Shit wait I’m lacking! Flair up you dirty unflaired scum!
(Man that felt good, been too long lmao.)
🟩
Welcome home child
Yeah the website is still unusable due to this.
Blame it on @Atalocke@lemmy.basedcount.com lol. We’ve split the load 50/50, as soon as he’s done I can start workign on my part.
I’ll get to it soon enough! The core part is done, but I had to make it idiot proof for you 😜.
I saw this meme, checked out the instance and saw PCM and immediately migrated. I’m home.
Based and welcome home pilled. I’m unironically honoured to read this.
Welcome home my child.
Heavy work! what conservative community did sh.itjust.works defed btw?
I think it was a Marxist community that poped up like 5 months ago that the admin nuked. Cause they were asshats
That was a remake of the subreddit r/TheDonald. It took the admin a while to take it down and everyone started calling them Trump supporters for that. This was at the start of the Reddit migration.
This is actually really useful to get my bearings.
Keep in mind it’s just some dude’s opinion. Don’t make the mistake of assuming I know what I’m talking about.
The “sh.itjust.works” thing makes me terrified I just joined literally another Reddit. Was hoping for a politically open or even centrist place to hang out. :/
Nah don’t worry. sh.itjust.works is one of the more politically mild instances out there, perhaps only beaten by lemm.ee. Plus they host some very funny communities and very few blocked instances. Among the big players, it’s one of the best picks for a home instance.
“Free speech”
Auth
How is the community of “free speech absolutists” placed in the authoritarian region? That sound like maximum libertarian to me.
Free speech absolutist is just a buzzword.
It’s actually used by most people to mean “absolute free speech for me, so I can censor others”
I’ll agree that they aren’t monarchists, they would probably be better placed in the lower AuthRight quadrant. However I still think they’re on the Auth side. Most of Lemmy likes to call them Nazis, though I think that isn’t necessarily true. Most of them are just Trump supporters.
Internet leftists seem to think all right wingers are fascist. This is because a lot of right wingers think children shouldn’t transition, and that abortion is baby murder. Leftists can not understand why we think these things, and make up lies to explain it. Those lies say we are fascist.
No. Internet leftists see that the leaders the right wing vote for are fascist. If fascism is your solution to the social issues you care about, then your are a fascist.
Those are lies too. None of our leaders have any ideological connection with 1930s italy. (That one italian politician is an outlier and should not be counted)
Worth noting lemmy.world didn’t defederate us (dbzeo0) they just blocked c/piracy and a few other communities
Where do you put lem.ee on this chart?
I’m not all that familiar with lemm.ee but their sidebar and admin policy looks quite well balanced to me. Might they be the one true Centrist instance?
Removed by mod
Not sure about that either, had I been I would have put it somewhere. These are the instances I hang out in / have heard of the most. I don’t think kbin is particularly polarized politically, which makes it boring for the purposes of this meme.
Yes, pure centrists. Lemm.ee FTW.
deleted by creator
This is surprisingly accurate and helpful. I miss at least one /kbin instance though.
Yeah sorry, these are the ones I’ve heard the most about / visit more often. I don’t really know much about kbin at all. I think their shitty software makes them pretty much immune from fediverse drama, as you have no (easy) way of knowing which instances were defederated by a kbin one.
Hack Liberty’s admins are conspiracy nuts. I talked to them on their Matrix rooms. Man are they bonkers.
so?
If someone is a little off their rockers, that might affect their ability to be a good moderator.
Burggit lol
Yeah I considered replacing lemmynsfw with burggit but ended up picking the most famous one. Burggit would be an even darker shade of purple.
Tbh there is likely way worse hosted somewhere, burggit.moe allows “only” drawn stuff and its not that much. There were some assholes posting actual CP on shitjustworks recently however.
I mean I don’t have much against burggit. They are freaks but as long as it’s just drawing I don’t think there’s a problem with that. Actual CP though, that’s scummy.
Hey i am no freak! I just like the freedom there.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Just like to post hentai without having to worry about the tits being to small, that was one reason why i had over 40 reddit accounts in total.
Very insightful, thank you!
