So which one is actually official one? I can’t describe what “official” mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?
Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn’t the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?
There is also three linux4noob communities 🥲
I agree. I was gonna join .ml and then noticed for some reason .world has more recent activity despite having less users. Maybe it’s just timing.
.world kinda sucks so I would recommend .ml
Thnak You.
lemmy.ml is the ‘original’ instance. And i think the oldest by far. That’s why you’ll find the highest user counts there. But lots of people don’t like their moderation policies. And switched their engagement to other instances. I think that’s why you see lots of ‘nominal members’ in the lemmy.ml community, but the lemmy.world one is actually the more active one.
YMMV. And some people also don’t like lemmy.world or so much centralization and also try to move away from lemmy.world so we’re not completely dependant on a single instance.
I just search and browse for communities, click on all of them and see which ones are active and have nice posts and then I join those.
Thank You.
looks like that what I have to do.
