After this meta-post about a Lemmy instance got removed, I became curious: where are the communities that contain general discussion about the state of the broader Lemmy community itself?

The bigger communities I found when looking for Fediverse meta content are:

But most of the communities are much smaller and less popular:

Most of the "meta"communities I found were specific to a single server. Which is great for reporting server issues themselves, but not so great for understanding the broader community.

TL;DR where drama

    I now understand less

    Personal disdain for a community ≠ personal disdain for a whole server ≠ commentary on a meta level

      e.g. ≠ i.e.

      i.e. this was a good example of why i don’t like it…
      point being, every meme on there is an anti-biden, anti-democrat, biden = genocide meme…
      the fact that they’re already trying so hard to politicize this tragedy, is pretty gross to me… and then every time i find someone spamming like 500 “biden is the genocide” comments, the poster ends with lemmy.world

      so, basically it has a very toxic userbase that is spamming the rest of lemmy with thinly veiled, pro-trump propaganda, and the mods are complicit.

      this is my own observation, but other users have said as much… lemmy became instantly much better as soon as i blocked it.

      hexbear also thrives on negativity, but they do have something to add, sometimes…

        Which is exactly the kind of content I’d expect to see in a meta-Lemmy/Lemmy drama community, yeah

            I think I’d probably join one of the five I mentioned above, versus making my own with hookers and blackjack. Mostly because I don’t know how to play blackjack.

            I was initially prompting you for a link to a community, since it seemed you were familiar with one… Not an actual drama post right here.

              look here, you have no right to tell me what is and what is not an appropriate response about dramatic communities…

              furthermore, blackjack is a game of gentlemen and scholars, i doubt a lemmite of your caliber could grasp and appreciate such a fine endeavor…

              and lastly, the proper term is ‘sex worker’… “hooker” is hate speech and… i dunno, reprehensible i guess
