WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoI started on lemmy.ml because I thought it was “the default one” to some extent. Learned that was a mistake pretty fast. Glad I found this one.

I think the same thing is why lemmy.world is as big as it is. “Well that must be the default one, it says lemmy and it’s for the whole world.”

It’s very inviting! Unless you want to say anything bad about anybody for any reason.
Can’t imagine that’ll come up.

I may be remembering it wrong, but I think world was one of the few accepting people without a referral during the reddit migration. That’s why I use .world. I also don’t really understand federation besides it means I can see other instances, but I only barely know what that means. There were a lot of “what is the fediverse” posts when I first joined, and they were helpful, but maybe too simplified?
I also remember thinking .world and .ml were the defaults when I started.
