I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)

I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

I mean, good point actually. It’s very possible the issue is the instance I’m logged into. I switched around the time lemmy.world was hacked. But .world honestly felt the same as sh.itjust.works. Never fails that I login and the very first thing I see is some communist circlejerk with tons of upvotes.

I’m on .world and I very rarely see anything communism-related. But I mostly browse Subscribed rather than Local or All.

I browse all on lemmy.world and in a few days when I scroll to the third page or so there’s suddenly a bunch of lemmygrad stuff. But it used to be every day and at the bottom of the first page.

Certainly something to do with the amount of content available in general.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
