I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    I don’t think it stands for either, I saw somewhere that it stands for Marx-Lenin since the founders are communists

      It is indeed a Mali domain, but of course people choose their domains because of their niche community - in case of .ml, it often stands for “Machine Learning”. In this case I am pretty sure you are right and it is meant to represent " Marxist/Leninist" in this case, it is known that the instance admins are close to that ideology.

      Would you feel better if they were communists and chose something completely neutral instead, like .io?

      That’s such an arbitrary thing to be concerned about
