I’ve heard people talking about e.g. not subscribing to lemmy.world communities (because they are the largest instance), and others like Lemmygrad seems to be defederated by quite many instances. But what about lemmy.ml? Should that instance and those communities also be avoided? The “issue” is that many large communities seem to be based on that instance. Like !privacy@lemmy.ml and !linux@lemmy.ml
.ml is unavoidable for some niche tech communities unless you make your own with blackjack and hookers, but for example, Linux has !linux@lemmy.world, !linux@programming.dev, !linux@sh.itjust.works, and !linux@sopuli.xyz. Privacy has !privacyguides@lemmy.one, !privacy@lemmy.world, !privacy@lemmy.ca, and !privacy@programming.dev.
