    I’m doing this on the digital equivalent of the back of a napkin. I have not done any surveys. This makes me curious though. Does Lemmy have polls?

    I believe that’s total users. We can also go with number of comments per week, according to Lemmyverse:

    World - 41,575

    .ee - 8,605

    NSFW - 820

    My own instance - 777

    Here we can also see our leftie friends starting to appear:

    Hexbear - 14,411

    db0 - 2,632

    Lemmygrad - 2,220

    SLRPNK - 1,435

        I’m not assuming everyone there isn’t socialist. I assume that most aren’t, based on anecdotal experience.

        For some reason lemmyverse, where I got the other stats, doesn’t mention .ml, though it mentions the Enterprise subdomain, which I hear of for the first time.

        If you can find out the number of comments per week on .ml, I would be glad.

          If you’re just working off of vibes, then what’s the use?

          Either way, I am unsure of the comments per week or active user count of Lemmy.ml, but it is large, larger than Lemmygrad or Blahaj, and probably larger than Hexbear.

            You yourself said that World is mostly socdems and liberals. Once you’re here for long enough, some patterns become visible.

            Either way, I think I’ll try to cook up a poll so we can measure the class consciousness of Lemmy, haha. Do you think asklemmy will accept such a post?

              Depends, Lemmy.ml’s? Probably. .world’s? Probably not.

              The point is that Lemmy.world is mostly liberal, but Hexbear, grad, etc. are 100% Socialist. There aren’t 100% liberal instances.
