I came across a post in r/RedditAlternatives inquiring about Reddit alternatives aimed towards women: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1jycxqr/do_you_know_any_reddit_alternatives_aimed_towards/
Any fediverse spaces come to mind?
@[email protected] Opportunity to promote [email protected]?
Thanks mate!
Do you have any other communities on lazysoci.al yet? I’m asking because this is now the second time I’ve come across a question like this where people are specifically asking about women-centric platforms and not just communities. I’m assuming that lazysoci.al is your own instance. In which case, maybe you could promote the instance as a whole as being a spot where women can sign up and make communities etc in a space that has women in mind first and foremost.
It’s not, @[email protected] is the admin
Thanks Blaze 😊
Ah thanks. I made that assumption because I’m pretty sure the women’s stuff community was the first time that I ever even saw that instance around here. I suppose I could’ve checked for myself on desktop though. Would be cool if there was a way to browse the ‘local’ feeds of other instances. Or even just browse communities by instance instead of an alphabetical list of everything all mixed up.
You can filter by instance on https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Wow thanks. Wish I could do that in app but that’s a great resource to check out. Had no idea there were 573 instances lol. And I feel like I’m always seeing the same 10 over and over.
Most instancies are run by Linux hobbyists and don’t have more than their owner and a few users that happen across it randomly. lazysoci.al is lucky to have a popular community make residence there.
The home button on the right allows you to define your home instance so that the communities open on it
I’m a little surprised a womens only instance hasn’t sprung up yet. It’s a situation that would need more specific moderation needs.
Hmmm what would be a good domain name for it? Lol

Honestly I don’t know if I’d recommend (current) Lemmy to someone looking for a women’s space. There’s like this 10% of users that get very argumentative any time a feminist topic is brought up.
This is almost necroposting but for sure. It’s exhausting.
And that’s the problem with women-centric anything on the internet. It always attracts those chuds, and they are everywhere. I explicitly have to remind myself not to reply to misogynist comments, because as soon as you do, here are 5 more dudes to tell you why you’re stupid and wrong.
