Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.
With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!
What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

Is it true that the .ml part stands for “marx-lenin” or is this misinformation?
Officially it is the domain of “Mali” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ml Might be also the letters “l” and “m” which are the consonants of lemmy There is no “.lm” top level domain
That’s for http addresses, isn’t it? The ending of a lemmy instance is likely completely different - as you don’t find url domains ending in “.world” or “.social”.
EDIT: I’m wrong!
I’m really confused reading your comment. Are you saying that the top level domains of .world and .social cannot be used for “ordinary” websites?
I don’t know!
