A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:
- lemmy.world: 19516
- lemm.ee: 3779
- lemmy.ml: 2970
- sh.itjust.works: 2355
- feddit.de: 2293
I've been on sh.itjust.works since day one of my Lemmy existence, because shit just works.
It also doesn't overdo it with defeds (beehaw) and isn't run by tankies (lemmy.ml) or nazis (exploding-heads).
Lemmy.world is hosted in the USA? I wonder how long til it gets raided by the feds
I think that is an artifact of their Cloudflare use. The main server is AFAIK in a Hetzner data center in Helsinki, Finland.
Lemmy.ml doesn't take new registrations... Unless that changed
Seems like it did change
Of course it's the one instance where I accidentally capitalized my username and can't change it to a lower case letter.
Who knew Lemmy was so big in Estonia?
Wait, lemmy.ml is French ?
The .ml is the country extension for Mali, which was colonized (read that how you want) by France along with other regions of Africa. Just recently French troops left Mali after a nine year military operation to fight Islamic militants.
