      Wanted to say this too. It’s Lemmy’s biggest problem and keeps putting me off. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people in person anymore because of them. I don’t know if I would be more disturbed if they’re mostly state actors astroturfing or just deeply unwell real people

      Agreed, also if you’re not a Neoliberal I would stay away from World (or if you’re Queer, a minority, or someone who isnt comfortable with seeing bigotry).

      Just recommend the biggest instance that isn’t federated with them. Anyone got a list?

      I do think it’s valuable to recommend the bigger instances. If they’re on a big instance, they don’t have to worry about federation at all at first. It takes no effort to slowly learn about federation, and later they have the option to move to a smaller instance.

      This lemmy.zip person didn’t have a good onboarding experience. @[email protected] maybe?

        That’s actually me. I simply didn’t want to carry over that username but I guess I should claim it too. Lol

        Yeah, I originally joined Lemmy during the first Reddit exodus. Then, I squirreled and did not spend the necessary time to learn much about it. However, this go around I’m here and I’m serious about learning it and using Reddit much much less (in hopes to abandoning it eventually).

        Some folks helped me to find apps. I’m using Avelon and I really like it. It makes figuring Lemmy out MUCH EASIER than simply bookmarking.

      I know right, ML Tankies are so much worse than fascist capitalist Nazi’s, they sure spoil everything amirite (watches a capitalist do a nazi salute at a presidential inauguration). Lets continue to ignore politics and see where this goes.
