https://join-lemmy.org/ would be an infinitely more useful starting point to discuss what lemmy is.

Worth noting that list misses off a few more popular instances https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

The lemmy-network is (for now) full of tankies. Just look at this: https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/T...

Well you can start your own instance.

Ah man, I misremembered the name of the Lenny chatbot[0] and thought based on the URL that someone had created, like, a ChatGPT version him. Oh well.

And Pleroma is full of whatever the polar opposite of a tankie is (not going to use the "f" word but you know who I mean). It's not too surprising that the political allegiances of the core developers affect who is and isn't interested in joining the network.

Now, we just need Lenny [1] to read the stories on Lemmy, and the circle will get completed.

Lemmy doesn't seem to offer anything to me. It probably offers something tangible to certain groups with opinions that are not well represented elsewhere.

The fact that it's federated under the hood is not a feature that would matter for most people, at least as far as I can see. If it meant that I can easily move my conversation elsewhere then yea I can see that, but I really can't, and it only further divides my comments across yet another silo.

Would be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong about my impression.
