What commonly defederated instances' communities are worth subscribing too?

Most of my original subs come from .world so I don’t know what’s worth following on .ml, lemmygrad, hexbear, etc.

Maybe I could even extend this question to what communities in non major instances are worth subing too.

- Will op see your comment, if your instance is blocked?
- Hexbear calls itself "leftist", though its userbase seems to lean ML.
i suspect that hexbear is the most active instance on lemmy by far; but if it wont be good for you if you can't handle genz/gena sensibilities or are not atleast vehemently anti-capitalist.
- most active instance on lemmy
  In the case of "frequently defederated"? Or in General?
  Looking at FediDB (which seems a little broken), it seems like Lemmy.World is tripling their monthly posts.

  both. lol
  i think it's a symptom of the sensibilities of genz clashing with older generations; sort of like millennials clashing with boomers but to a MUCH more significant degree.

  you can see how well above it's weight hexbear is punching when it comes to active users; communities like slop, badposting, and chapotraphouse in particular.
You can go to the specific instance you have in mind and browse "Local" every once in a while.
I'm doing my part to pour shit into shitposting on .ml
- lol you shitpost enough that I recognize your username
Well, if you want a sense of what the founder on .ml believes in, go to worldnews@lemmy.ml.
07 to Alsephina, shreddiebiologist, Peter Link, Arthur Besse, IndustryStandard, NightOwl, yogthos etc.
A sense of what the geopolitical fowks on Hexbear believe in, go to news@hexbear.net, specifically their megathreads (sometimes they reach 1000 comments, sometimes maybe 2 or 3 kilos)
for lemmygrad.ml's beliefs, just check any news area there (no big megathreads there; tis a small site there)
- You need to put a ! To make those links clickable
Memes communities from most of them
Sciencememes from Mander
- Sciencememes from Mander
  I second this measure of mander.xyz
For .ml, it's a mostly FOSS/adjacent subjects enthusiast instance, so you may be interested in communities like !privacy@lemmy.ml, !linux@lemmy.ml.
The sexy ones
