They are just two different servers. Lemmy.World is one of the really big ones. I had an account there but because of the size there were a lot of performance issues. I would recommend you join one of the smaller servers like sh.itjust.works. You have access to almost all the same information on the Fediverse.
You'll miss out on the Beehaw community on Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, since Beehaw defederated from them
Lemmy.cafe is a nice general purpose instance that only defederates from the most extreme instances, while still giving access to Beehaw and all other instances. It's still small too, so it'd more effectively spread the load compared to creating an account on sh.itjust.works, which already has a pretty huge user count.
If you consider lemmy.ml and hexbear.net "most extreme" then sure.
Considering their main export is genocide and dictatorship apologia, I do
Lemmy ml are huge terrorist apologists
An instance who is federating, with pedocriminality, far rights, etc,
Super this workaround,
Not every person on lemmy.ml is an "leftist" who wants imperialist system,
Beehaw is not worth the effort. Their audience is way too sensitive to participate with any reasonable level of social interaction. You will live on eggshells if you wish to participate there,
I've never had a problem, always enjoyed my time interacting there 🤷
Same.
Same, my posts in Beehaw technology community often get more upvotes than on lemmy.world's one and I never had any problems with it
Their audience isn't the problem it's mainly the moderation style they use, which is very extreme, even compared to similar instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone.
Beehaw seems completetly dead to me, there's only ever a handful of comments on posts.
They have really heavy handed moderation
Yeah they're way too extreme up to the point of walking on eggshells around them. Personally I never participated there but from what I've seen they go way too harsh. I think their intentions are good but they still need to loosen up a bit, okay a lot.
Though in a way it's good because it means they broke the early network effect they had in their communities by cutting off lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
They still have a little over 300 Monthly active users, which puts it in line with my own instance. So not huge, but certainly not dead.
