Thanks to anyone who approves me to join for Lemmy through this lemmy.ml instance.

P.S., I tried three times to sign up through the lemmy.world instance, but it failed. 🥲

Yeah, I think I got a same issue. In my three times sign up application, I successfully link my email all the time but it end up I can’t sign in my account. But don’t worry I’m fine with my .ml instance so far. 👍🏼

Glad you're liking it so far, welcome!

Just a word of warning, however. The instance you're on is rabidly authoritarian communist and they have to proselytize, if you say anything bad about China or Russia (and to a lesser extent, Iran, North Korea, really anyone who doesn't like "The West™ блять") you'll likely be banned. If that happens, try any other instance other than lemmygrad or hexbear which are more of the same but worse, all the rest (like db0, .ca, .ee, .world, etc) are cool.

I warn you, because sometimes it ends up taking people by surprise who thought they were joining a general instance not a "marxist-leninist" instance (especially now that they pretend that isn't why they chose .ml, 3 years ago they admitted it but now they downplay it to fool the newcomers.) Sometimes it turns people off the fediverse entirely (because y'know, murderous idiots aren't great company) but I just wanted to say that while you'd still have to deal with those people due to federation the mods on other instances don't have their back and you won't be banned from say .world for saying the Chinese government is a problem. Finally I'd like to add that there are instances which don't federate with the worst two, hexbear and lemmygrad, but not many that don't federate with .ml.

Thanks for the friendly reminder at the first place. To be frank, at my current age, I try to learn about any side of political views either nationalist or socialist so the fact that this instance are surrounded by socialist followers or advocates doesn’t bother me at all. I try to learn a good value from everyone, everything and everywhere. But one thing, I just be proud that I was being accepted to this instance, which are the pioneer and consist of all the developers for Lemmy.

Because this is literally their agenda. Try saying anything relatively positive or neutral about any of those countries on .world and see how "non-authoritarian" they are
