lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are different “instances” of Lemmy. Anyone can host one, and every Lemmy instance can talk to other Lemmy instances, and similarly any other software using ActivityPub. It’s part of the “Fediverse”, or the federated universe.

In the long term, it won’t matter unless lemmy.ml starts defederating from other instances or other instances start defederating from it. “Defederating” is a term for when the admins of an instance choose not to talk to another specific instance.

Oh yes, by several metric tons. I’ve used both, calling GNOME lightweight would be hilarious.

I can definitely vouch for Plasma, the Steam Deck comes with it and it’s great

But they are totally different colors

Very hypersexual

Honestly I had no idea it could be an autism thing, and I’ve been diagnosed my whole life

And if they somehow manage to do that, people will download their data and move to another instance or spin up their own, and they’ll get the exact same content. It’s the open nature of the Fediverse, it’s impossible or at least incredibly difficult to monetize.

The Fediverse will never be monetized. It’s open by nature, instances are maintained by donations and out of the administrator’s pocket. Why? Because they have a passion for it.

Even if someone chooses to monetize one instance, people will move to another that isn’t monetized. It’s free and open by design, and will always be that way.
