    To add to what everyone else said, lemmy is basically an open source version of reddit. Anyone can create their own lemmy Instance and will have complete control over it just like any other website and can choose who they are linked with.

    Lemmy.ml is the “original” website run by the creators of lemmy who are communists.It used to be an explicitly socialist website like hexbear but Its become full of liberals since people left reddit on mass for lemmy almost a year ago.

    Lemme.ee is a generic website for anything so its basically like lemmy.ml but not run by communists.

    sh.itjust.works is is similar to lemm.ee (a generic website for anything) but is run by reactionaries.

    lemmy.world is basically just reddit. I don’t recommend you have anything to do with that one. cringe

      explicitly socialist website like hexbear but Its become full of liberals since people left reddit on mass for lemmy almost a year ago.

      It was lib before that too, numbers were way lower but before .world, .ee, sh.itsfulla.nazis etc there was mander, sopuli and beehaw. Beehaw defederated because they shat their pants before hexbear but you can still occasonally see mander and sopuli galaxy brain tkes on .ml
