lemmy.ml is one of the original instances, run by Lemmy developers Dessalines and crew. ML for them stands for “Marxism-Leninism”, not “Mali.” They have a reputation for censoring criticism of Russia and China, but have a number of mainstream-ish communities.
hexbear recently lost the Hexbear.net domain name due to a registration screwup. Last I heard they are hosted at chapo.chat. They have a reputation for “dunking” on non-tankies.
lemmygrad.ml I know the least about, as I’ve been defederated for nearly my whole Lemmy lifetime. Allegedly pretty tankies.
ani.social seems like it may specialise in anime stuff. I blocked several of their communities in grounds of not labelling nsfw. That’s about as much as I know.

The problem is definition of NSFW is different for all Lemmy user. One time I posted a Official Art of !nokotan@ani.social and it got reported for not labelling NSFW. That pic doesn’t even have any thing like Fanservice or Showing Clothes. Just normal School Uniform.
You have to be 18 to access lemmy.world (which this thread is on) per Rule #3 of their ToS BTW. That’s technically still a teenager so maybe you are of-age, but wanted to mention it.
So, What .world gonna ban me? They don’t have any proof that I am a teenager or just 40 Year Old Man who was roleplaying as a teenager on Internet? Who knows? Banning is also pointless I can create 10 different account on Lemmy. So they can’t make me stop using Lemmy. It’s already been 1.5 Years now. I had a account .world at first then I moved to lemm.ee.
NSFW stands for “not safe for work” - the label literally exists so that users know what to avoid to make the service usable at work without risk of getting fired over it.
And why wouldn’t you want to use it at work? Breaks are a thing, many people try to spend them trying to recharge by doing something that takes them out of the work mindset for a bit, and Lemmy is perfect for that.
Yes. It’s not really exclusively about work, though. It applies to families, public transit, anywhere someone might see your screen. It’s not a nudity or gore tag, but a sort of inoffensively presentable content tag. The office screen mentality is just a good way to get the right idea across.
Also, “better safe than sorry” is a good mentality. It’s better to over tag than under.
Update: it seems that hexbear.net is back to hosting hexbear.net.

“If the 65 year old HR worker would take a second glance, it’s Not Safe For Work.”
So a gay couple kissing is NSFW and a straight one is fine? That’s what a 65 yo HR worker would say in my experience.
But, I never understand. Why would anyone use Lemmy or any social media at work? I am Teen. So, really asking.

I am on lemm.ee which allow user over 16. So, I am safe I guess? It doesn’t even matter I am gonna Turn 18 this July.
This particular thread is hosted on lemmy.world and you must be 18+ to access it.
