Lemmygrad is happy to welcome you while hexbear is down.
Please remember, however, that we work a bit differently from hexbear. Downvotes are enabled on our instance, and that’s probably the biggest thing you’ll notice.
Likewise, our rules differ a bit: we are a bit more serious than hexbear and less shitposty, especially outside the dedicated communities (such as memes, genzedong, shitXsay).
Finally, and this is probably the biggest difference, we don’t have the same rules about left unity and its discourse - lemmygrad is not 100% ML but leans that way heavily.
We also don’t have a rule about disengaging because we promote good faith and responsibility, but of course if someone is being a dick or harassing you you should report them.
In terms of federation we’re federated with about the same instances you are, and in terms of emoji we have very few compared to you.
Otherwise I hope you enjoy your time on lemmygrad while Hexbear gets fixed.
Isn’t hexbear like that… I thought Lemmygrad was supposed to be full-ML or smthn…
yeah I feel like 99% of Hexbear users are MLs anyway, but there’s still the ‘left unity’ rules
The left unity [no trots] rules.
We’re like 99% ML but sometimes have other tendencies requesting accounts, as well as newbies. We usually let them in since they are a tiny minority, but whether they end up using their account is not always decided.
I see way too many anarchist memes and ideas in general for hexbear to be a 99% ML instance.
Well, I mean, in the sense that they’re majority tankie-ish, due to their foreign policy… (it’s based, I can attest to that)
If I were to guess, at least 60% are MLs of some kind…
However, they’re more like shitliberalssay people than GenZedong…
