easiest way is to make a lemmy.ml account imo. I will be honest, it's both a little grim (in that it will be hard to interact with a lot of people) and nice (that we wont have to deal with the worst of the lib brainrot), but for the most part if you see an instance you don't recognize probably safe to assume they block us. There are a couple, like blahaj, that are ok with us but the biggest libby instances are blocking us on creation

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

i don't really get it, how is lemmygrad different from lemmy? one needs two accounts? one is lib and one is not? could you explain if you have a sec?
Lemmygrad.ml is specifically our communist instance. It’s against our rules to come in and start arguing everywhere in favor of capitalism, and our admins will ban accounts that do it from our site.
Lemmy.ml is the instance run by the devs. They’re comrades, so they won’t ban us from lemmy for arguing in favor of Russia, for example, like a Reddit admin might. But because they want fo keep lemmy known as just a free and opensource software, libs arent going to be banned from lemmy so expect to get into many many more arguments with libs there if you argue for Russia or any other topic reddit libs go nuts over.
There are a libs who like to use instances (biggest being beehaw.org) that keep us blocked, so they can’t see our comments at all, even when you directly reply to their comment in lemmy.ml. If you wouldn’t want to interact with the kind of person who seeks out an instance that specifically blocks our comments, I would just stay on your lemmygrad account. Just keep in mind to try and check usernames if they have their display name set, and if they’re not on a lemmy.ml account there’s like a 50/50 shot they’ll be on an instance that bans lemmygrad and they won’t be able to see your comment (unless it’s like a mastodon account or some other fediverse account, I dont think I’ve seen a different platforms instance ban us yet)
I get a little frustrated not being able to leave helpful comments if they’re on an instance that does that, so I might make a lemmy.ml account
