I found myself logged out and Lemmy. I tried to connect to my account and it didn’t work so instead I have decided to send myself a lost password email but nothing came through. I then realized I was on lemmy.nl and not on lemmy.world

What is the difference ?! Thanks

    They’re two different sites run by two different groups of people, but they can exchange messages with each other.

    Just like, say, Gmail and Hotmail.

    Its like email. Gmail and yahoo mail talk to each other but have separate account databases and administrators. Both of these are general purpose instances so there isnt much difference. I think lemmy.ml is a little more left wing in its moderation.

    Lemmy.world is run by Mastodon, while lemmy.ml is run by unapologetic socialists/communists.

    One doesn’t really have a political focus while the other one has at least officially associated itself with such beliefs.

    Thanks to the federated nature of lemmy, if you don’t like the way an instance is run you are free to go to another instance. If you want to be in an instance that will align with your beliefs, then you have that option as well. Isn’t it wonderful?

      Lemmy.world is run by Mastodon

      The admin(s) of lemmy.world also run mastodon.world (and calckey.world). Just as there are multiple lemmy servers, there are multiple Mastodon servers.

      What do communists and socialists have to apologize for? To be clear I know what you are hamfistedly referring to. But it isn’t “communists” or “socialists”.
