Welcome! Yea, IMO Lemmy is kinda like how Reddit was a decade ago, but the light touch means that there’s also some problematic parts. Probably the biggest issue is the tankies, but if you want to just avoid them you can do an instance block of The Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml. Though I think your instance already defed’s from Hex and grad. that’ll take care of the bulk of em.
Thanks man. I already joined most of them. And yes, these communities are automatically blocked. But I find it wild that the instance hosted by the developers requires users to copy a part “The Principles of Communism” into the application. I subsequently did not create my account there

We’ve got memes on deck at !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful !science_memes@mander.xyz or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like !science@mander.xyz and !astronomy@mander.xyz . !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also nice this time of year, but you’ll have to post before you can leave.
