What's a good conservative instance? (discuss.tchncs.de)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

28 comments fedilink hide all child comments

To be more specific (If this even makes sense) I'm looking for an instance that leans more on the conservative side, but isn't infested with politics.

I guess I'm looking for an instance that isn't highly political. Even if it's a conservative instance, I don't really want to only see or have a politically dominated feed.

I've been on conservative instances way in the past, and that's always been my issue with them. Obviously more left leaning instances have the same problem.

But I don't want my lemmy experience to be majority about politics no matter what side it leans.

Lemmy is part of the Fediverse. So by nature all (most) of the instances are interconnected, and you're always exposed to all of the users and topics. An exception would be an instance that blocks other instances and doesn't federate with the rest of the network. (Or just a select few other instances.)

I think Lemmy is quite full of politics. At least with news concerning politics. I also don't really like it to lean towards that. But in the end it's a link aggregator and lots of people use it to link some articles.

I'm not sure if you found the right spot here on/with Lemmy. I'd advise you to subscribe to topics you're interested in, skip the news and political debate communities and focus on whatever you like. It shouldn't really matter on which instance you do it. But if you find one that aligns with your idea of a nice place, you should support that and join them. I can't point to any specific instances fulfilling your specific requirements. I'm not conservative myself. And I'm not from the USA so my categories are a bit different from lots of people here.

But you have to curate and choose your subscriptions. This isn't any of the usual big tech social media networks that has lots of algorithms to sort posts for you and only display pleasing content to their users. Lemmy is a bit more free(?) and doesn't lock the users into their individual filter bubble. And that's part of it's core design.
