I’d argue that, for Lemmy, it depends on which communities you subscribe to. Even if you subscribed to one community that now has stuff you don’t like, there’s a decent chance that another community on another instance has what you’re looking for.
That’s pretty similar to Reddit, though, isn’t it? There are still decent communities on reddit that you can dig for, too. Instead of finding different instances though you just find a different but similar subreddit name, usually founded by like-minded people that disliked the incumbent.
I’m out of the loop but I’ve seen this stated many times now re: .ml. What’s the deal with it? I thought it was mostly dev focused with memes and left-leaning stuff?
It’s the instance owned and operated by the main Lemmy devs. Most instances are run by totally unaffiliated people using Lemmy software. .ml is the only one where you could say the software devs are also the community Admins and moderators.
Lemmy is quickly embodying the worst of reddit too.

Lemmy at least has alternative instances and instance blocking.
“Lemmy” is not a platform, it is software you can use to make a platform (unless you’re on .ml I guess).

.ml belongs to Malian government, hence Marxist websites register the domains with that TLD.
Good ol Mali
I’m curious to know why that is. I see a lot of posts saying that people have been kind and more meaningful with their thoughts here.
Of course it is, it’s a reddit clone marketed to redditors.

The censorship is already worse here than it was on Reddit.
Depends on the instance. Lemmygrad is the most restrictive.
