One thing I’m not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?
I have read that lemmy.world has been hit by DDoS attacks but I’ve never had any problem using connect for Lemmy during those times as far as I know.

It was created by the lemmy devs and ml stands for marxist-lennist

Mali is where the domain came from, but it means something different in the context of Lemmy
It’s somewhat infuriating because the LARPers that run both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml really have nothing in common with the rich history of Marxism. They’re the same people who thought it was the peak of humor in 10th grade to put on a ushanka and blast “ear rape soviet anthem ten hours” in class. All of their opinions are based on “triggering the libs” or whatever country has a red flag and cool aesthetic. No Marxist literacy whatsoever.
