      Lemmy.world is run by the same people as mastodon.world. I guess a lot of users from mastodon.world went to Lemmy.world and the rest was word of mouth.

        I think the name does a lot of heavy lifting in regards to pulling in new users. It sounds more official or general because of the world part.

          Yeah, people just want a “generic” place because they generally don’t want to be pidgeon holed. I have nice and inoffensive lemmy.world and lemmy.today accounts because of this. I’m basically a vanilla NPC in my life and “sh.itjust.works” is simply too spicy!

        that sounds like a downside, unless you mean the kinda USSR/Chinese “communists” that are just state capitalists/feudalists

          Well lemmygrad.ml loves to make memes about how great the Chinese government is and how everyone who criticises the Chinese government is just mean, and they’re kind of the poster child for lemmy.ml, so…

            well those are like pro fascist people, not exactly communists, because current china is very much fascistic in it’s behavior.

      wjats so good about lemmy.world compared to lemmy.ml

      nothing. lemmy.ml just makes more sense to me.i figure the devs of the protocol should be able to maintain and update their own server, and so far that has proven to be correct.
