Lemmy.world grew by about 40% on the first day of reddit migration
Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!
Welcome new reddit expats!
You're viewing a single thread.
I hope I am not missing anything if I joined using lemmy.ml.
No, federation means we all see the same content regardless of which site we sign up on with the exception of sites that yours may block.
But be wary that lemmy.ml is a tankie instance and the ".ml" stands for Marxism-Leninism. I generally avoid lemmy.ml communities so I don't get banned for saying "the uyghur genocide is a real thing" or anything.
Oh ok thanks. I actually thought ml meant machine learning. My mistake not looking up what .ml domain meant.
No worries, .ml is in fact the official domain of the state of Mali. It's just the interpretation of this single domain owner what he wants to stand "ml" for.
I wondered that and I'm glad I've avoided the .ml instance.
Almost every leftist space on Reddit was infected by tankies, hopefully they just stick to themselves (doubt).
joined using both lemmy.world and lemm.ee. seeing no problems here so far
Just signed up yesterday myself. What's with all the different domains?
They are federated instances. Lemmy is part of the Fediverse, which means distributed servers running the same service (or services) and registering in one instance gives you access to information on the other servers running Lemmy. You can have different communities ('subreddits') in different servers but they are all accessible and joinable. This way is not a centralised system.
The Fediverse is not just Lemmy, can be other services like Mastodon, etc.
The large instances usually subscribe to most of the others but not every instance is equal. You should go to other instances (you don’t have to join) and check their “all” feeds. You’ll definitely see differences.
How do I blacklist a whole instance from my view?
I believe that's a current feature request and we're limited to blocking each community for the time being, sorry.
May I ask why would you?
There are just certain instances that I wouldn't want to see, like foreign language ones?
New to the fediverse, so perhaps I'm not thinking about this correctly, but if could blacklist a whole instance, rather than certain magazines/subs/whatever they are called, it would be easier than playing a game of wack-a-mole.
Best one imo
