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 has been popping up as another featured instance. What differs from lemmy.world vs 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. (Yes I’m aware that app is no longer being maintained)

Again apologies for the stupid question.

    Small correction. Kbin is not a Lemmy instance. It’s an entirely different backend on the ActivityPub protocol. It federates with “threaded” fediverse sites like Lemmy, and with microblogging sites like Mastodon. Users on kbin can create and interact with both kinds of posts and kbin magazines “Lemmy communities” can natively include both.

    Edit: sorry @atypicaloddity I totally misread your comment. Ignore me!

      I, uh, don’t think they were claiming that kbin was a Lemmy instance. To refactor the sentence slightly, it says “Each Lemmmy (or kbin) instance is like it’s own Reddit…” which acknowledges that kbin isn’t Lemmy.
