      Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.

      Best instance stays winning.

    Uhhhhhhh…I don’t know. I just got here a month ago. I spent May smoking so much weed that I do NOT remember the bulk of May. Including the days that led me to Lemmy.

    All I know, is I went through a very bad time in late April. So I just said to myself “too much shit is going down. I don’t even give a fuck anymore.”

    And so it was. I was baked out of my mind for like 3-4 weeks straight. I’ve never done that before, but honestly, I needed that.

    And now that I’m sober, somehow I mostly know what I’m doing within my own bubble on lemmy, but I would NOT call myself an advanced power user of Lemmy.

    I learned while high, and although I retained what I learned, I don’t remember learning it.

    So now this is a new thing about Lemmy. I know of https://browse.feddit.de/ but I don’t know of fediverse explorer.

    Explain the difference between the thing I linked, which I think I was told is the be all end all of Lemmy community searching, and this Fediverse Explorer?

    I’m excited for this Fediverse. I’m all in on this. I love the seperation, the redundancy, the freedom. But I feel like I’m in kindergarten, and you guys are like “check out this algebra!”

    And I’m like “Do what now?”

      …or don’t.

      My understanding is that Lemmy.ml is not exactly a nice place. Lots of drama. I’m staying out. But it very well might be a bad starting point for new users.

      Then again I’M a new user, and I have next to no idea what’s going on.

          Didn’t know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?

          I also noticed that this post is not available on lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post. Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.

          It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it’s the case.

          For example, the banned OP wrote something like “Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?” in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.

            I criticize US imperialism all the time. Not even a warning let alone a ban. So I don’t think that’s the case.
