You mean hexbear, kbin, and lemmygrad?
I hope so.
You might wish to be aware that your instance's top-level domain was chosen because ML stands for "Marxism-Leninism", and that the main admin of lemmy.ml has a photo of Mao as his profile banner. So you're probably going to have a hard time convincing your instance's admins to defederate from Hexbear and Lemmygrad, all things considered.
ml was most likely chosen because freenom was giving ml (mali) tld away for free.
That's why fmhy chose the .ml, but lemmygrad and lemmy paid for theirs, which is why they can still use it while fmhy.ml went tits up.
I also pay for a ml domain now, 11$ a year. Used a free one, set up my mail server and some other stuff, now I need that domain because of the mail adresses I and others from my family use. Lemmy.ml has lots of users, it's the main devs instance after all. I don't think that the marxist-leninist thingy is the reason for that.
Though I disagree with dessalines political views.
