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!

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).

Not accurate. We don't see the same content. lemmy.ml blocks about 40 plus instances, so those that are subscribed to lemmy.ml won't see these instances.
