as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

    Well I didn’t join Lemmy just to do Socialist stuff. I just happen to be a socialist, and I joined Lemmy. What instance to you recommend?

      The 3 biggest Socialist-friendly instances are Lemmy.ml (FOSS and Privacy focused but maintained by Communists), and the 2 dedicated Communist instances, Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net.

      If you want to see as much content as possible, liberal or otherwise, Lemmy.ml will let you see it. Lemmy.ml doesn’t block Hexbear or Lemmygrad, so you can interact with those communities while retaining access to Lemmy.ca and Lemmy.world.

      If you are a dedicated Marxist-Leninist, Lemmygrad takes itself “seriously,” though it’s the smallest of the 3.

      If you’re generally a Socialist, Hexbear is a Left-Unity instance made up of Communists and Anarchists, is by far the most active leftist instance, and also the most self-sustainable thanks to its large and active userbase. Plus, it’s less serious.

      TL;DR based on what you’ve said, either Lemmy.ml or Hexbear.net, the former if you want to retain access to Lemmy.ca and Lemmy.world while gaining access to Hexbear and Lemmygrad, the latter if you want a much more active community than Lemmy.ml federated with most instances, with the exclusion of Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca
