Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy? - eviltoast

Hi! In thinking about how to help the fediverse grow, I wonder if there are more mainstream Lemmy instances?

I’ve pointed a couple folks to Lemmy.world and it’s uhhh, pretty hard Left for them (as one girl, who volunteered for the Democrats said “I just got yelled at because I can’t be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.”) We’re much farther Left than reddit which itself was definitely Left of centre…

I don’t know if decentralized open source social media actually attracts many mainstreamers but assuming we want to grow the fediverse, I’d like to have somewhere I can point people to without feeling very nervous for them.

Thanks!

      Until r/TheDonald you wouldn’t really see right wing concepts on the frontpage.

        I distinctly remember liberal messages rising to the top on Reddit, stuff like that you should just accept that you have to go out and work for a living. That’s not left!

          10s of millions of “left wing” (read, the entire spectrum from center to marx) folks believe that, for better or worse.

          That opinion is entirely valid as “left wing” but certainly isn’t very left, on an absolute scale.
