Please include a brief description of the nominated instance, why it should be added to the allow-list, and include a link to the instance. Off-topic comments will be removed.
Lemmygrad.ml because i post there sometimes and don't want to maintain 2 accounts.
urbanists.social, urbanism focused Mastodon instance run by a communist
blackqueer.life, Mastodon instance for black/queer folks run by a communist
midwest.social, left-friendly Lemmy instance focused on the US midwest
Also isn't threads going to work off allowlists so smaller instances don't need to explicitly block them?
Wait, threads is going to federate? Like the Zuck Twitter clone? Why?
If we federate with instance A & instance A federates with instance B, but we block instance B, do we still see B's content? I know that's how it works on Matrix, but does activitypub work like that too?
I hope so or we will have a very difficult time federating with much of anybody.
I'd just like to add that I definitely think we should never federate with anyone who hasn't blocked burggit.moe. "pedo-adjacent" is too light, they're explicitly pedo-friendly.
The fediverse is absolutely popping with good communities. It's why I'd prefer a blocklist rather than an allow list.
lemmy.blugatch.tube - I run a small instance for myself and my friends. Registration is not open to the general public so the potential for abuse is incredibly low. I currently identify as an ancom, former shitposter on the CTH sub, and I'm here for the leftist unity!
Some akkoma instances to federate with:
snowdin.town: leftist, queer, antifascist, explicitly anti-loli/pedo/etc; actively blocks all the kind of shit we're concerned about
Outerheaven.club: Metal Gear, blocks the bad stuff
mycrowd.ca: general purpose, very anti,fascist/bigotry/pedo, blocks the bad stuff
akkow.wtf: general purpose shitposting, blocks the bad stuff
seafoam.space: general purpose chill site, blocks the bad stuff
Akkoma is Twitter/Mastodon/Pleroma style and so far most seems to have attracted very cool and active communities
whiskers.bim.boats - Disclaimer: I made a Hexbear account here just for this. We really like Hexbear and anonymously lurk everyday since we already run our own tiny instance with 2 active users and don't want the hassle of multiple accounts...So the comms available are basically what we look at and like (bar some lib places we subbed to for dialectical purposes). Whiskers is defederated from threads if that matters but none of us subscribe to comms on other sus/fash instances anyway. Although if there is a short list of instances with that kinda stuff we can add them too.
TL; DR: Just a few ML folks looking for some fedi left-unity.
lemmy.blahaj.zone is a general purpose lemmy instance for queer and gender diverse folk, and their allies. They like our pronouns feature, and they have disabled downvotes like Hexbear has.
union.place, labor-union focused masto instance, blocks the bad stuff, good moderation, commie friendly
Looks like images from lemmy.blahaj.zone show up as *removed externally hosted image* (see https://hexbear.net/post/306609). Can we get that domain whitelisted for images like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are?
fuckcars.social, akkoma instance run by one of the admins of urbanists.social
Crystals.rest; general purpose for vtubers and weebs, blocks threads
Lemmy.zip, general purpose with a slant towards tech and programming; blocks threads
Lemmy.studio, musicians instance, blocks pedo shit
Partizle.com, general purpose, blocks pedo shit
- lemmy.dbzer0.com - piracy, lefty memes, anarchism
- programming.dev - programming, hardware
- infosec.pub - cybersecurity
- lemmy.sdf.org - retrocomputing, sustainable tech
- lemmy.film - movies and tv shows
toast.ooo - running a pixel art canvas for fediverse this weekend (like a Lemmy r/place)
https://canvas.toast.ooo/
There’s a trans flag already going and stuff, could add a dope-ass bear.How about going the block-list route instead?
Lemmy has three types of federation:
- Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to.
- BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
- Open: Federate with all potential instances.
undernopretext.social is a Mastodon instance for leftist firearms enthusiasts run by seahorse, the admin of midwest.social.
To name another mastodon instance, I'd personally love to see kolektiva.social added. It's the biggest anti-colonial/anarchist mastodon instance sitting at 36k users and for many leftists like me it was sort of the default landing page during the very first twitter exodus. Lemmygrad federated with them as well fwiw.
https://lemy.lol is a small (43 users a day) Lemmy instance that federates with Hexbear and Lemmygrad and blocks Threads. Their admin seems open to learning more about gender, and they have built off of @CannotSleep420@hexbear.net's lemmy-bot.
