Lemmy is a federated attempt at being a Reddit competitor but I think it has quite a bit of work to do before it’s viable.

That is just one instance. I believe the .ML stands for Marxist Leninist if that is the community you want to join. There are many other instances sprouting up, and you can spin up your own pretty easily. Like any fediverse instance, the amount of work to maintain and moderate it is dependent on the number of people on it. https://join-lemmy.org/instances

According to the link you posted, I think you're talkong about lemmygrad.ml. lemmy.ml is hosted by the original Lemmy developers.

You are right. .ML is the TLD for the country of Mali which is an interesting choice. I did a trace route on both and found them hosted on different servers. There may be no connection, and I don't think it matters anyways.

The original Lemmy developers are hardline Marxist-Leninists, they make no secret of this.
