I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte? (lemmy.ml)

Because lemmy is much smaller, you tend to rub into the same users more often. So if someone comes off as abrasive, blocking them can have a notable impact on your experience.

Dogpiling is worse, and it can pay to know what instance the community you're posting in is, as the games community on hexbear is going to be different than on world.

It's much more "left" than reddit. Notably, while this instance, lemmy.ml, is the flagship instance run by the lead dev, the "ml" stands for marxist-leninist.

Alright thanks! Also I don't know what marxist-leninist is, but it sounds like politics, so I'm gonna try a few more instances along with this but anyways have a great day! :D

does ml actually stand for marxist-leninist? i remember using domains with .ml tld a long time ago with freenom's $0 domains lol.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 4 days ago

it's actually the top level domain for Mali

[–] bobo1900@startrek.website 6 points 4 days ago

Freenom isn't operating anymore and all free .ml domains are deactivated. I always wondered if the where able to keep the lemmy.ml domain because it was premium

And here am I thinking .ml stands for MaraLago!
