I mainly visit my country's community, news and browse comics/memes. More niche topics could be more active, I admit.

I’ve been a regular lemmy user for a few years now and it’s gotten better. The communists (and fascist) platforms have been de-federated from the major platforms. It’s still full of Reddit complaining from ex redditors. I don’t think that will change.

My login server is lemmy.world, so if you sign up with something else ymmv.

That was one of the first instances lemmy.world. You can ignore that one because it's very drama-filled. Other Lemmy servers are more chill.

I got banned from some community for pointing out how shitty Soviet Union was in WW2, but learned to avoid that instance from that. It's a "federation", so you get all kinds.

There's discussion on all topics these days.

Every instance is its own thing. You probably need to filter out hexbear/lemmygrad

The commies are a smaller voice these days and can be easily filtered out.
