Many of the leftist went to Lemmy because they were kicked off the other platforms for the Nazi Bar Problem. The developers of lemmy didn’t create the protocol. They are using Lemmy as their version of the software using that protocol. The same protocol used by threads, etc

Fair enough, I really am speaking of Lemmy so broadly because 99% of Lemmy instances are leftist. Culturally and politically it is wayyyyyyy more homogeneous than even Mastodon.

For this style of instance. They’re about the only game in town. The others haven’t grown or failed. I will give the lemmy developers credit. They’re dragged this software along where other have failed. I believe this is classified as a link aggregator.

Yes the Lemmy software is great. It's why I came back to Lemmy, I had actually checked it out once and then ended up leaving several years ago.
I know there are mbin and PieFed but IDK how good they are. I know that PieFed does have some federation issues with Lotide (which is what I am using).
