The alternative realities allowed to exist in conservative or republican groups/communities.

I severely wish for this to not happen here. But I’m not naive, conservatives always follow and then start to destruct what others have created.

Is /r/conservative leaking into lemmy?

Nope but I didn’t use twitter either, nor will I use Mastodon. Just not my cup of tea as it is a vile place and you can clearly see in the last couple of twitter years why I was right on this one. Mastodon and Threads will suffer the same fate imho. This type of platform attracts…certain weird and extreme people.

Oh. Oh wow wow. Seems to work on different instances as well? This I tried for VLemmy.net :

So China is accepting Japan into their midst and getting all buddy-buddy?
How very Nanking of them…
China will never ever consider Japan as an equal or viable partner. Breaking the bond between West and Japan? Sure, they are all about that but being buddies and accepted into China? Never ever happening.

Thanks. Guess I need some time to adapt.

I’m still massively confused on the setup. Just like Mastodon, this Lemmy thing pushes fragmentation and technology and I just cannot wrap my head around it.

I would love to have a site ala reddit. There, that is it. I am not super interested in the techniques behind Lemmy but I must because there are ‘servers’, ‘communities’, etc. You can join one server but you might not see (or be able to search) other servers or whatever. The fragmentation is related to this point, I am going to have to hunt for specific ‘groups’ or ‘subreddits’ if you will, and hope it is complete because maybe another group, on another server, will have other content related to your interrest. I cannot even begin about posting items myself because I am already lost on that one, no idea what server to post or how it will be able to be seen by users.

So I can describe what I would like, so that other can gauge if Lemmy can meet that need, but the fragmentation and technique tells me I am in the wrong place to have this experience.

What I would like: Frontpage with generic ‘groups’ or ‘communities’ and my subscribed ‘groups’ or ‘communities’, all on the front page/one page, that scrolls continuously without bothering me with ‘techniques’ (choosing servers for example). I can certainly appreciate the techniques behind Lemmy (or Mastodon) but in the end I want to create 1 account, pull in some ‘subreddits’ in my account and when I go to the front page, I get to see all the articles related to the ‘groups’ or ‘subreddits’

In short: can I arrange Lemmy/Vlemmy in such a way that I get the same experience as I had on/with reddit?

I am looking for a replacement, not a challenge tbh. Again, fair play on the efforts of the devs but I want to keep my effort at a minimum on this one, I just consume and read news.
