Is lemmy.world more active than lemmy.ml?

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.

I think since lemmy.world is so stable and didn’t have (many) issues when the signup spikes were happening a lot of former Redditors ended up here. lemmy.ml is run by the developers.

Because of the way it all works, and because we can interact with everything we’re federated with, we’re pretty free to choose the best instance for us or even create our own if we wanted to.

I'm also a new Reddit user to Lemmy. I know that we can see other instances when we are logged into our main instance, lemmy.world for example, and we can interact with those other instances like email. Are we required to create a separate account if we want to change to a different main instance instead?

Changing to a different main instance requires a new account.

My issue has been that you can't see every post from another instance. For example, I can only see 200 out of the 2k posts on [email protected] when viewing it from Lemmy.world.
