This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Can you help me understand how the whole fediverse thing works? It seems more decentralized than reddit.

[โ€“] purahna@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

the hyper-abridged version:

Each "instance" (beehaw, lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, etc) is like its own small self-enclosed Reddit. "Federation" is the process that allows the instances to talk to each other - like for example, users registered at the beehaw instance can go and comment on posts from the lemmy.ml instance. This allows each instance to keep its own culture while granting the breadth of community of having every user able to interact with every other user. Some communities "defederate", which basically means an instance decides that for whatever reason they don't want their users interacting with users from another instance. So the network isn't fully connected, but instead forms a distributed network. Totally down to answer more quetsions despite my account only being like an hour old lol
