Each instance has its own vibe. You joined .ml, just a fair warning that a few instances and a chunk of Lemmy users have defederated/blocked it, so you may miss out on some content. Otherwise, pretty chill for the most part.
You can replace .ml with any Lemmy instance. The most Lemmy thing remains all the instance tribalism.
Holy shit! That’s why a lot of my old communities haven’t been subscribed to yet.
From a really sad lemm.ee refugee. I miss that instance.
Any suggestions of chill instances just for tech, games and comics?
discuss.tchncs.de is tech-focused :) It seems like there are no communities for games and comics yet though.
Aren't we all migrated to .zip?
Hey, do you have a channel or blog on theology? Your username sounds familiar to me.
Yes we are!

Where’s that damn memo?
Which major instances defed .ml?
Using this tool https://federation-checker.vercel.app/
I don't recognise any of the instances that are blocking .ml
I'm like OP from a few months ago. I joined ML because it was easy and sorta anonymous. What's the story on ML? Who defederated? What am I missing?
It's the devs' test instance.
The devs are Marxist-Leninists. They're the admins of the instance. Therefore the instance has nuanced-to-positive views on Actually Existing Socialist (AES) states, and allows for criticism of Democrats from the left.
It's been defederated by instances whose admins aren't wiling to critically examine their lifetime of capitalist programming and are accustomed to Reddit's universal condemnation of AES states.
It's the devs' test instance.
The devs are tankies. They're the admins of the instance. Therefore the instance is tankie-ish (but not as much as Lemmygrad).
It's been defederated by instances whose admins (or users, if the instance is democratic enough) don't want to federate constant tankie bullshit.
(Personally I'd also defederate .world, which tries to be so much like reddit that it's like .ml but in the opposite direction, but that would mean defederating a major fraction of lemmy users, I suppose.)
