All these “fediverse browsers”, like Lemmy and Kbin, are commonly referred to as fediverse software. (extra info: Wikipedia calls Lemmy, Kbin, and similar answers-type or Threads-type software as “Link-aggregators”.)
There is no “Mastodon network”. There is no “mastoverse”. There is no “threadiverse”. There is no “Threadinet”, or whichever -verse / -network people are coming up with.
Any software that is using the ActivityPub protocol is part of the “Fediverse network”. Just like how any software that uses the HTTProtocol is part of the Web.
That clear so far?
Now, we go to your question.
Q: I moved to lemmy.world and have noticed that lemmy.ml has been popping up as another featured instance. What differs from lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml? Is .ml more active?
lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are called instances (the terminology used to refer to a fediverse server/service). These two are only two out of many fediverse instances available. In paritcular, these two instances are only two out of probably a hundred Lemmy-based instances available.
What differs between the two? As far as features and functionalities go, none. Since these two Lemmy-based instances are using the same software, they have the same set of features. The only difference would be if one instance fell behind in Lemmy version upgrades.
Since lemmy.ml is one of two flaship servers of the Lemmy software project, naturally it will get the bulk of registrations and content.
For example, before the Reddit Migration, there were already existing communities for many similar Subreddits, and many of those are in lemmy.ml and are very active. So, when Subreddits started to migrate, some chose lemmy.world and other lemmy instances. Which allowed lemmy.world to catch up with the number of users and number of active communities that lemmy.ml already have. AND, some of these are about the same topics/fandom.
"Bei der nächsten Social-Media-Plattform wird alles anders. Oder: Warum ich mich nicht bei Bluesky anmelde" - meine Gedanken speziell für die Geschichtswissenschaft (aber nicht nur), was man nach der Implosion der Twitter-Community und der Fragmentierung der Social-Media-Landschaft nun tun kann/soll... =>drüben bei Zeitgeschichte Online erschienen https://zeitgeschichte-online.de/node/70045#bluesky#mastodon#twitter#histodons
@AndyGER@Ulrich@Mareike2405 ich hatte auch noch keinerlei Probleme mit meinen Firefish-Accounts, die laufen schon sehr lange sehr stabil (wurden seinerzeit von #Foundkey bzw. #Calckey upgegradet).
i can't fucking upload any media, now its not juts i takes 30 tries to upload it, it straight up doesn't work anymore. gonna add this to the giant pile of stuff that doesn't work on this software. i think the only thing i can do now i post text, boost and react.
suspended a user who's been here for quite a while. i had neglected to check on reports for a while since i don't get too many and this one user had like 20 reports, and he was telling people to kill themselves or hang themselves.
Hey, new friends/followers! Just a couple of tiny pointers as you try out Mastodon -- I HIGHLY recommend signing in via https://elk.zone on the desktop and using the Ivory app for iOS -- both have much better interfaces that'll feel more familiar to Twitter users.
@gregpak
situation is a bit different for all those who are on calckey, foundkey and pleroma: all three of them boast non-federated chats, with calckey and foundkey chats being interoperable #fediverse#calckey#foundkey#pleroma
"Michael, are you going to offer a vmst.io version of Lemmy or kbin?!”
No. As has been stated before, I'm all in on Mastodon. But I want all flavors of Fediverse enabled app, so I have zero problems with supporting other peoples instances when I know they're good.
Im having a really hard time opening CWs on #foundkey (#calckey fork) on #firefox (#android). I tap on them and they just wont open. I have to go to the original instance of the post for it to work
Pour appliquer automatiquement une bordure rouge aux images sans alt-text dans #Firefish, vous pouvez mettre le code suivant dans votre CSS perso (Paramètres > Thème > CSS personnalisé) :
/* Put red border around images without ALT text */
.media img:not([alt]),
.media img[alt=""] {
outline: 3px solid red;
outline-offset: -3px;
}
I registered on this instance to talk about my tale as a trans girl
The :trans_egg: cracked open on 2023/06/24 quite painfully, that’s the cost of having it buried deep in me for closed to two decades
I’m here to talk and exchange freely, not hiding myself and without fear
I wish finding more friends! :nanonyan:
This might be my first #introduction ever :uwucat:
@don über Antennen werden aber schon auch #Lemmy-Beiträge in #Firefish gefunden (war in #Calckey und #Foundkey auch schon so). generell föderiert es allerdings leider mit Lemmy nicht gut, was allerdings wohl an Lemmy liegt. @privateger hatte mal Genaueres rausgefunden
Ça sent le sapin pour #Foundkey, dont l'unique dev se retrouve à bosser en solo sur le projet et ne pourra plus offrir que des mises à jour de maintenance. 😕
Hello everyone, this will be the last message before I wrap things up and migrate after MKAB's transition to #Calckey.
MKAB was the introductory instance for me into the World of *key, starting with #Foundkey. @puniko was the one who brought me here starting with my first handle, @zakiuem.
During my journey at MKAB, I've made so many friends.
