I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    When I had to choose I thought .world means, it‘s the central, most important place to be. Didn‘t know what the other abbreviations meant. Didn‘t care.

      They’re just top Level Domains (TLDs). It’s like .com, doesn’t mean anything outside of a name usually.

      The other abbreviations are simply website domains. FYI the “.ml” from the mail lemmy dev means Marxist-Leninist, because they are tankies.
