I’m sorry if this breaks a rule for this sub or isn’t in the right place.

I really don’t know, most of the time I just lurk. I had an alt on Hexbear because they get defederated all the time, and I really enjoy their content, but it got banned because I called out Nazi propaganda about Ukraine(It’s why I was banned. I’m not trying to talk politics I would like to focus on Lemmy), and I’m just very confused. The rules they referenced for the ban seem to barely apply to what I said, and in general, the server seemed like a cool place to be. I definitely felt like I was in a community where I belonged.

I’m just boggled and could really use some hand-holding on this one. In general, the rules of the Lemmyverse confuse me. I want to see everything, but the places I like most are usually defederated from the larger communities.

If this isn’t right please please, just point me to where I can ask.

Thanks!

      Lemmy.ml is the dev instance and is the most default of the three. While it hosts a lot of “default” communities, the devs/admins have encouraged creating more instances over one default instance.

      Hexbear.ml comes from the former subreddit r/chapotraphouse and was created as a new place when the old sub got banned. They shitpost the most loudly out of the three.

      Lemmygrad.ml is the most “academic” of the three. If you hear anyone say to “read theory”, the discussion about it will likely happen there. It attempts to be the most serious of the three instances and actually tries to analyze some modern communist writings.

      All three are banned in China, but lemmy.world can be read in China.

        That is amazing.

        That simple situation just says so much.
