Up until about a month ago, I thought lemmy.ml was plenty welcoming to people on the left that weren’t tankies. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, that’s changed. The anarkiddie jokes get old really, really fast.
Jerboa is faster for me than the reddit app, although its missing features. I haven’t had any difficulty logging into Lemmy.ml with either Jerboa or Lemmur.
I found pixelfed really hard to install. Maybe I was just doing something wrong, and I was admittedly not using docker, but I had to deviate from the instructions at least once, and I never got federation with mastodon full working. It was also very bloated. My server is a fairly weak vps, but it bumped my resource usage (disk and processor) up by like 40%. I eventually settled on Piwigo, which I like a lot.
Link is broken, and “moncul.com” doesn’t seem to exist.
Best way I found was to block the top three lemmygrad sublemmies, which filters out a great deal of them.
