It’s because a lot of people migrating from Reddit landed on .world and created or found their familiar named communities and that’s how it was on Reddit - US centric top level type communities.

Is .world the best place for US centric communities? Maybe not just based on nomenclature but since you asked why, that’s the reasoning. It’s in the description of Politics specifically (it even calls out migrating Redditors).

Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.

lemmy.ml is down right now. You’re going to have to wait until it’s back up to ask them - this question/answer is just local to lemm.ee until it comes back up and can appropriately federate.

I have a lemm.ee account and a lemmy.world account. They are exactly the same as far as subscriptions go, my feed remains essentially the same, they’re just for when one has server issues, goes down for maintenance, or is laggy I have another with the same feed to keep my experience pretty much the same.

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?

Three total, but was using lemmy.world as my main until recently with all the groaning under the pressure of all the new signups so yesterday I spent about an hour or so methodically recreating my subscribe feed on lemm.ee

Nothing at all against the admins over at .world but when it’s pushing the absolute limits of capacity with all the new people coming by, it makes for a different experience all together on a smaller instance. Course because it’s hiccuping over there I’m seeing some significant delays in federation but whaddyagonnado.

Didn’t you just question the decision to defederate from exploding-heads a week ago when the users there were posting racism, hatefulness, bigoted speech, etc?

If you didn’t like that defederation, why do you want another defederation? Sounds hypocritical.
