It has gotten much better. More content and general activity and nutjobs at .ml and similar got mostly isolated from the rest of the network.
I think fediverse is really shaping up as a strong reddit alternative. Most pop subjects are mirrored here and the vibe is very similar to early reddit so there no real reason to go to reddit other than super niche communities like of a tv show or something.
Most props go to the lemmy.world team as it kept a consistent big sane network running that keeps the project stable! If .world never happened I think Lemmy would have remained cess pool of social rejects like most reddit alternatives like Voat or lemmy.ml
lemmy.ml is like a degenerate wading pool of piss and misinformation.
If you haven't been banned there you have not truly lived. Let us come together in our detest.
Damn, you guys really make me feel like I'm missing out lol
It is actually sad that some good comunities try to occur there and are forced to deal with the consequences of whole instance's fame.
That's the great thing about decentralization - we can migrate very easily!
Thanks for info, that's what I was looking for, it means not leftist I assume.
The ml in Lemmy.ml stands for Marxist-Leninist. Anything past that is for you to unpack; in my uninformed opinion, however, it seems that .world has an irrational hate boner for .ml.
