    Welcome! The biggest difference is federation. Hexbear.net and Lemmy.ml are the biggest instances that we can interact with, though you’ll be able to see a lot more than just those. Local sorting shows you just Lemmygrad.ml, all sorting shows you everyone else. Some instances like Lemmy.world have defederated us, so we can see them but they cannot see us.

    Welcome! I guess the major shock baby leftists from TheDeprogram and other podcast/youtuber subreddits have with us is our principled support for non socialist anti-imperialist states and AES (actually existing socialism) projects.

    There are some communities about photography and other niche things, if you can’t find the one you like you are welcome to making your own community about it, a community is like a subreddit, while an instance is like Reddit itself. The interesting thing about lemmy is that our instance can interact with other instances (or other reddits), Hexbear is another socialist/socialist-adjacent instance for example, they go from libs to marxists to anarchists. Lemmygrad is explicitly marxist-leninist, and while we welcome most people, we definitely push back whenever someone posts lib cringe.

    As for AI, many users here strongly embrace it. Of course me and many others avoid the american AI industry and tend to work on the chinese platforms like Deepseek.

    Welcome 😀 Hang around for a bit and most of these questions will be answered in practice. Be sure to check the communities, the equivalent of subreddits.

    I think the one really important thing is that our posts can be seen by all Lemmy, not just Lemmygrad, unless specific instances (= servers) block us. So when one addresses the Grad, one is really addressing everyone who wants to read us.

    At least that’s what I understand 😅
