For more context: I already had the communism and lefty communites blocked. I'd consider myself middle-left of the political spectrum but personally don't believe in some grand revolution saving us all. Most left communities on here seem to far out there for my personal taste at least. My comment is deleted but if you wanna see the post here's the link.
1. Be civil
No trolling, bigotry or other insulting / annoying behaviour
2. No politics
This is non-politics community. For political memes please go to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world
3. No recent reposts
Check for reposts when posting a meme, you can only repost after 1 month
4. No bots
No bots without the express approval of the mods or the admins
5. No Spam/Ads
No advertisements or spam. This is an instance rule and the only way to live.
Elsewhere I mentioned how Lemmy.ml is only the #5 instance, not #2. Here I'd like to add that even memes@lemmy.ml is not all that large.
For one, outside of that instance there are MANY meme communities rather than concentrating all into one giant megalithic community subject to whatever authoritarian mods are in charge there (ironically there is far more "sharing" outside of the "communist" instance than inside it:-P though the developers of Lemmy do share their codebase and that much deserves credit).
For another, take a look at the MAU - that stands for Monthly Active Users - and you'll see its only <2/3rds the size of the largest community on Lemmy.World, plus there's over a dozen additional communities that are larger than !memes@Lemmy.ml.
So yes, you'll need to spend more time curating your experiences here than on Lemmy.ml or Reddit, like you'll need to subscribe to multiple memes communities rather than just one. Hopefully you'll continue to contribute by posting in one of those rather than the tankie one, and make & keep them all the more active as a result of your participation:-).
