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.

Don't sign up to lemmy.ml or you'll need to sign up again on a new instance when they get defederated. Tankies. I guess a blind eye is being turned right now because numbers are important for survival atm, but I wouldn't consider it a future-proof instance.

It never ceases to amuse me that throngs of liberals, fleeing from yet another capitalist centralized service doing what capitalist centralized services do, are so quick to denigrate the work of the communists that made their flight to an alternative possible in the first place. We wouldn't have Lemmy -- and the numerous improvements to Groups in the ActivityPub standard -- if it weren't for communists like them.

Also, LemmyGrad.ml has most of the "tankies." Lemmy.ml is more generically socialist.

I feel like you're ascribing way to much to leftists when far right and libertarians were fleeing reddit too. Like, it's not just the left that interest in a non-corporate environment.

Liberals are not "leftists," and they are not of "the left." Liberalism is a right-wing ideology (just not as right-wing) and as such, is devoted to capitalism.
