I honestly cannot find it. I find that Hexbear and Lemmigrad are frowned upon (hadn’t previously encountered them), but I actually find a few recommendations about Lemmy.ml. And many of my own subs are from there. I’d really like to understand!

Huh, interesting! Thanks a lot! I guess I’ll keep reading the communities on lemmy.ml but avoid joining more. And if I ever encounter the issues described I hope I’ll find similar communities elsewhere. So far everything on Lemmy is so much better than in any other platforms that I’m quite happy.
Lemmy.ml is actively spreading malicious authoritarian propaganda, better to just avoid it
I sometimes wonder if they get more power to do harm, if people that are aware just block them instead of using their votes while staying outside.
There was a list of alternatives communities to lemmy.ml: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/16923582
Thanks!
Yeah, one nice thing is that you can remove the problem communities and you see a lot less of them
The hexbear folks were the worst. Like, putting all of their political opinions aside, they would just swarm posts and flood it with low quality buzzwords and memes and every formatting option to be as visually obnoxious as possible.
I don't know if I blocked them, they blocked me, or if my instance defederated from then, but holy shit my Lemmy experience got so much better when I stopped seeing their shit everywhere.
