Thank you.

Last time I checked Lemmy, it was just full of communist propaganda.

Which instance did you check? There's more than one as far as I know.

The official instance https://lemmy.ml/ as well as its apparently favorite other instance Lemmygrad.

lemmy.ml seems more tech-related than anything.

Lemmygrad is a server for Marxists. They say so on the topmost post when you open the website (https://lemmygrad.ml/post/668436).

It took me about half a minute after opening lemmy.ml to find a comment glorifying communism: https://lemmy.ml/comment/435767

Of course Lemmygrad is for marxists. That's my point.

>We like Stalin and we uphold the DPRK’s sovereignty and legitimacy over the whole of Korea

Jesus christ. Actual tankies.

That is going to be a factor in getting people to migrate. Convenience matters more than outrage. Lemmy's decentralization makes it a bother for most people. If they can't get instant gratification, they'll just go back to reddit.

So is Reddit. And also neolib propaganda, capitalist propaganda, libsoc propaganda, ... should I go on?

Also, it's federated. You don't have to get even close to a server with the kind of propaganda you dislike the most and just keep to your favourite propaganda bubble.

You can also just run your own server and forbid the "wrong" kind of propaganda, whilst allowing the "right" kind.

> communist propaganda

That's the reason I want to find a Reddit alternative...
