I’ve seen a few mentions of people feeling like they’re constantly seeing the same content when sorting by active, I’ve since moved to hot, and I’m having a much better time.

    Mind if I ask a stupid question? I’m seeing lemm.ee more and more thanks to Memmy displaying it under usernames. How is it different from lemmy.world? Sorry if this should be obvious, still getting used to the fediverse.

      It’s understandable to be confused. The easiest way to wrap your head around it is to think of it like the difference between Gmail and Hotmail, they both have the same purpose and do the same thing (showing you emails) but they are on different servers run by different people.

      Lemmy.ml – lemmy.world – lemm.ee – etc.
      They are all servers that connect together. Some posts, pictures, and profiles are saved to one server, some are saved on another. All of that is accessible between all of them.

        Gotcha, I think more or less I already understood that much. I meant more so how do they (lemmy.world vs lemm.ee specifically) differentiate from one another?

        Is it simply the instances they federate with or is it the ones they block? Is there a “goal” for them worth considering when picking one? I only picked lemmy.world because it was the most popular. Saw that OP is from lemm.ee so thought I’d ask this here.

        So for example: I’m somewhat interested in seeing how things go when threads users get included in the fediverse. I saw a post from lemm.ee basically saying they were considering it while another preemptively blocked them.

        Sorry if this is too specific lol.

          Well you also have to consider the philosophy of your admins. They can block and censor anything for you basically. You might join an instance that removes posts critical of a certain country, etc.

          But mostly it’s just about who they defederate

              Actually, I run thelemmy.club

              So I get to make all those decisions. I try to be fairly laid back though as I have over 100 users now (though only a dozen or two active ones)
