If you use Reddit, but don’t like the direction it’s going, (more extractive, less user control) Lemmy is a good alternative. Same thing for Instagram or Twitter, pixelfed or mastodon are good alternatives for those. And they have the advantage that it’s harder to make them universally worse in the future, since the infrastructure is more distributed.
For example, I hope you wouldn’t consider planning how to exterminate Jews allowable free speech. There will always be limits on free speech, the question is where your limits are.
You’ll call some things free speech and others not. No instance is going to allow everything. You’d need to create your own instance so it aligns with your views. Then the other instances will decide whether they want your content or whether to defederate.
Lemmy can’t federate with pixelfed yet can it? I know we have some integration with mastodon, but I’m guessing we can’t connect to pixelfed directly yet?
I guess does Lemmy not see comments from non-lemmy yet?
It’s an instance mostly based around authoritarian communism. They got banished from Reddit quite a bit before the black out.
I was able to get around that my opening the link in the browser instead of Lemmy.

Not subs, but the entire platform is Reddit can enshitify. More adds, no api, pushing nfts/crypto, etc.
Also, third party apps! I really don’t like the default Reddit app.
Are you familiar with enshitification? Lots of smaller instances people can run themselves holds off the platform enshitifying.
Mostly only the very active users moved over from Reddit, so we have a lot of content for not as many people. But it’s nice how active and invested most people here seem to be.
Boost let’s you see the karma on someone’s account. I only really use it if I think someone is a troll. It’s helpful to know if someone is in the negative karma.
I hope aggregators like greyjay will be able to incorporate peer tube recommendations into their app, that might help the platform be able to grow past things no one else will host.
Are those sindarin key caps? That’s awesome!
https://hexos.com/ is also trying to be a low skill low effort version of truenas, but it does have a one time payment. I didn’t think you’d need a nas specific OS for just one storage laptop though, it’s more meant for large home storage servers.
