No, this is over blown. Whenever visited before the large influx, lemmygrad was so big it made clear who this was for. But not on the technical level. Now it just is a reddit alternative, which also has some questionable communities here and there to be dealt with.
It's not just lemmygrad, but lemmy.ml as well that are tarnishing Lemmy's reputation.
It is a very large instance though with different communities. It is more of a technical slog though, barely works.
This, their moderation practices have been noticeable enough that they're scaring users away with their blatant support of historically fascist regimes

Thank you for the information. Also I just found out lemmy.ml blocked my entire lemmynsfw instance, shutting me out of most of the content. I specifically did that to show support for sex positivity and not for porn. Seeing the fediverse in general tries to shut NSFW harder than big tech at times. The old, free tumblr was great.
Oh, this is not good. Now, I might need to pay more attention to this. I was just getting sort of settled into Lemmy, as well.
I mean Lemmy itself is simply a program/network that connects to other pieces of itself. lemmy.ml is different to lemmy.world for example, even though they might feel or seem like one thing.
Using Lemmy is fine, don't be afraid to use Lemmy. We're just talking about how lemmy.ml's practices affect Lemmy's reputation.
Lemmy itself is fine, people are more worried about the lemmy.ml moderation practices since it's one of the bigger instances.
