Lemmy instance

This page is still a work in progress.

Learn more about Lemmy on https://join-lemmy.org

Due to previous abuse and to keep an eye on total user numbers, all new registrations need to be approved by one of our site admins.

Basic rules

  • be constructive: there is no need of another internet space full of competition, negativity, rage and so on;
  • no bigotry, including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia or xenophobia;
  • be empathic: empathy is more rebellious than a middle finger;
  • no porn and no gore: let’s keep this place easy to manage;
  • no ads / spamming / flooding, we don’t want to buy/consume your commodified ideas;
  • occasional self-promotion by active members is fine.

Please note that these rules are just basic guidance on what to expect moderation wise. Ultimately it is up to our moderators to decide on a case-by-case basis and according to their own judgement what is acceptable or not.

Also see the (work in progress) Code of Conduct.

Creating communities

We made the decision a while ago to open community creation to all members. We hope that this will cater to contributors making this instance their home and reduce lurking. Communities should have some thematic relation to Solarpunk however.

Creating communities comes with some responsibilities:

  1. Active moderation of communities you create (you can add additional moderators yourself though)
  2. Please add a community avatar and a basic side-bar text explaining what the community is about
  3. Make a short introduction post to tell us a bit about yourself and why you created this community (this is mandatory!)

Communities that do not adhere to this and/or are seemingly abandoned by their original creators (and no one is willing to take over) will be pruned from time to time.

Blocked instances

We currently block the following instances:

  • Wolfballs.com (Reason: "free-speech" taken a wrong turn to the right)
  • Lemmygrad.ml (Reason: primarily tankies and red-fash)
  • Bakchodi.org (Reason: right-wing Hinduvta run instance)

Please use the report function if you think additional instance blocks are warranted.

The full list of linked and blocked instances can be found here.
