Is lemmy.world more active than lemmy.ml? - Lemmy.world

So apologies if this is a stupid question as I’m new to Lemmy. Came from Reddit. I moved to lemmy.world and have noticed that lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] has been popping up as another featured instance. What differs from lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]? Is .ml more active? Part of why I ask this is because I downloaded the lemmur client on my phone and it defaults to lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]. (Yes I’m aware that app is no longer being maintained) Again apologies for the stupid question.

They're federated so we can interact from both networks I think. It's more populated here so it's more active.

Yeah I know we can interact with .ml (which is simultaneously weird and cool) but that answers my question for sure. This place is so cool.

What’s even crazier is that you can also post to Kbin which is a server running completely different software

I signed up on Lemmy just this week. I’ll be signing up on Kbin and Mastodon next.

why tho? Mastodon, okay its a whole different platform but why on kbin? you should be able to follow their instance from here...
Show threadTununiasJun 15, 2023
Ok, thanks for letting me know. I’ll look into accessing kbin from lemmy instead.

You can of course try kbin, in case you like that software better. Kbin communities look like lemmy communities to lemmy users and lemmy communities look like kbin communities for kbin users. It's possible you have already seen and interacted with kbin content without realizing it.

On kbin, they're called "magazines", not communities.

I know, left it out because I didn't want to explain a new term there.
