I think the lemmy.ml community is distinct. I suspect it will be a case of a handful of communities opening up on different servers, and over time one (or a couple) will "win".

Yeah that was my reading too. I think it's going to be a disorganised mess at this point. As (hopefully) more people migrate, we should see one of them win out.

E.g. this one on .world has the most subs, but only 1 mod. The one on .ml looks healthier but has less members... hm.

What you're seeing is the fairly meaningless count of accounts on your instance that subscribe to each community. You have to look at the "home" instance to get accurate total subscriber counts.

Could you explain the difference between .world and .ml? Are they separate sites entirely (like Reddit vs Twitter), different "subreddits", or something else?

[–] PriorProject 1 points 1 year ago

They're different federated instances.

They're both Lemmy instances, and that makes them both "like reddit".
As a user, you can create an account on either.
As a mod, you can create an community (aka subreddit) on either.
When a user on world subscribes to a community on ml, ml starts copying new posts to world so users there can read them.
When a user on world comments or posts to a community on ml, it gets copied the other way.
Federation works with more than 2 instances, if a user on instance-a posts on a community on ml, that post gets copied to ml, which then further copies it to all subscribing instances.

All of which is to say... many Lemmy instances federate together to make a super-reddit. Each individual instance participates, and you can (mostly) make an account on any instance and interact with users and communities on other instance.
