Yeah, I noticed that too, but the observer and the explorer in the same page show them, so...ok...🧐

Maybe they're trying to divide the load among different servers, so they don't serve .world as the obvious default choice.

Text is very small and easily compressible, it's more images that you need to worry about generally speaking.

I have never spent significant time on their instance, user wise, they tend to be less likely to scream that I am from .ML and so an evil tankie.

if the users weren’t so obnoxious

I spent more time there and 'evil tankie' was among the lesser (of many many) insults.
Like nazi, bcs in their propagandised brain that is the same thing.
They are on horseshoe level.

Im going to be honest with you, the worst instance I generally interact with is .world, I have never made a secret I am a communist, see username, but that is by far the worst instnce in my experience both of if I say anything "evil tankie" and they are also one of the worst at the evidence for me being a communist is not I have red army, but because I am from.ml

I admit this might be skewed because .world is bigger, but people from .ee tended to be more amenable,

Personal experience I guess.
.world is indeed not much better.
When recently .ml got federated again here and the reactions were mostly negative to extremely hostile.
But it's good that we're here, for some balance and post facts and opinions they otherwise don't see.
Cheers

Cheers to you too, this was truly a plesent discussion, atleast on my end.

Actually the observer and explorer links redirect to external sites (fediverse.observer and lemmyverse.net respectively)

It would be odd to single out just the biggest server instead of letting people decide themselves; I have a feeling this exclusion is to do with .world's users having a beef with the folks running .ml (and vice verse - join-lemmy.org seems like the official Lemmy site, so ran by the .ml ppl)

Can/How do you Import/Export your comments/replies?

Looking at the ratio of my downvotes I guess here haha.

I’ve thought about how to respond to your comment for a while. I don’t want to “out” some niche communities here for being toxic. That just perpetuates the problem I’m complaining about. So instead a non niche example are the Nintendo and video game general communities here are overwhelmingly negative compared to their reddit equivalents.

Sad, my first account was on this instance... although I hardly ever used it.

If I know correctly, it is not possible to export posts, comments, replies.
