The Fediverse is huge and overwhelming to a newcomer, with many different types and each with servers to pick from. Which ones would you suggest checking out or avoiding?

    Lemmy.ml, iirc, stopped being promoted a couple years ago because it’s kind of the experimental instance of Lemmy. The developers of this instance themselves shared the idea for new users is not to be here, and use other instances to free up a bit of the server resources, but older accounts like mine, well, we are still around.

      No, it’s because your admins are genocide deniers that want Ukraine to be taken over by Russia.

      Most of Lemmy doesn’t want to be associated with that. Hell, that’s a large part of why PieFed was developed

        Except that the people who started suggesting to avoid pushing .ml were the Lemmy devs, the instance admins, and that is what this user is referencing. Exactly for the reasons described.

        This was back during the surge from Reddit in 2023.

        “Most of Lemmy” was made up of communists before then.
