Lemmy.world officially has 30k users! - Lemmy.world

Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/] has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth. With that, lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/] is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org [http://beehaw.org]’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth! What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world [https://lemmy.world/] so far? To track lemmy’s growth: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list]

Is it true that the .ml part stands for "marx-lenin" or is this misinformation?
Officially it is the domain of "Mali" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ml
That's for http addresses, isn't it? The ending of a lemmy instance is likely completely different - as you don't find url domains ending in ".world" or ".social".
It’s the same, those are just newer tlds
