I'm genuinely curious, looking to move from Reddit due to heavy-handed mod abuse and the extreme leftist bias of virtually all the big subreddits. Is Lemmy going to be a place where free speech is honored, or will conservatives always get the boot like on Reddit? I'm not talking about hate speech or calls for violence, I'm just as against that as the next person. But I'd like to know I'm not going to get banned because my opinion differed from that of a mod.
You don't understand Lemmy. Feel free to host your own instance with your conservatives views. It will likely get defederated by other instances, but nobody's stopping you.
That was 3 years ago, I don't think they're gonna see this.
Haha, post age is a constant reminder that the Fediverse wasn't getting much action for a long time. I don't even know how many replies I've posted then noticed the age.
The "active" and "hot" feeds are kind of broken. Clearly configured with the lower post volume in mind. I suggest top>day until it's fixed.
Thanks for the tip! I have wondered why it seems like I keep hitting the same posts
The latest version of lemmy also added top 12h, 6h and 1h but the apps haven't seemed to implement it yet.
