I was browsing the fediverse explorer and did not find lemmy.ml in the instances list.
It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.
I’m on Lemmy.ml and am anything but a “tankie”. Love it here. Tonnes of tech/varied posts in my main subscribed feed and I’ve never noticed anything other than a minimal dose of drama…Facebook or Reddit are much more toxic in comparison which is part of the reason I left those places.
It is, someone should probably open an issue on the Github: https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues
…or don’t.
My understanding is that Lemmy.ml is not exactly a nice place. Lots of drama. I’m staying out. But it very well might be a bad starting point for new users.
Then again I’M a new user, and I have next to no idea what’s going on.
There is some drama, but at the same time some only exist there (see this post: https://lemmy.world/post/16235541)
For instance
So I wouldn’t say it’s such a good idea to not show them at all.
Didn’t know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?
I also noticed that this post is not available on Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post.
It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it’s the case.
For example, the banned OP wrote something like “Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?” in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.
Uhhhhhhh…I don’t know. I just got here a month ago. I spent May smoking so much weed that I do NOT remember the bulk of May. Including the days that led me to Lemmy.
All I know, is I went through a very bad time in late April. So I just said to myself “too much shit is going down. I don’t even give a fuck anymore.”
And so it was. I was baked out of my mind for like 3-4 weeks straight. I’ve never done that before, but honestly, I needed that.
And now that I’m sober, somehow I mostly know what I’m doing within my own bubble on lemmy, but I would NOT call myself an advanced power user of Lemmy.
I learned while high, and although I retained what I learned, I don’t remember learning it.
So now this is a new thing about Lemmy. I know of https://browse.feddit.de/ but I don’t know of fediverse explorer.
Explain the difference between the thing I linked, which I think I was told is the be all end all of Lemmy community searching, and this Fediverse Explorer?
I’m excited for this Fediverse. I’m all in on this. I love the seperation, the redundancy, the freedom. But I feel like I’m in kindergarten, and you guys are like “check out this algebra!”
And I’m like “Do what now?”
Nice one dude. High memories run deep 😤
They basically do the same thing but the interface is better on this one.
Weird my vegantheoryclub.org instance shows up on browse.feddit.de but not lemmyverse.net
For some reason !weedtime@lemmy.world is not on browse.feddit.de but is on lemmyverse.net
Huh that is weird.
Thanks for the community though, don’t know how I’ve never seen that one yet. Lemmy is actually bigger than people think sometimes.
