I think the same thing is why lemmy.world is as big as it is. "Well that must be the default one, it says lemmy and it's for the whole world."
I may be remembering it wrong, but I think world was one of the few accepting people without a referral during the reddit migration. That's why I use .world. I also don't really understand federation besides it means I can see other instances, but I only barely know what that means. There were a lot of "what is the fediverse" posts when I first joined, and they were helpful, but maybe too simplified?
I also remember thinking .world and .ml were the defaults when I started.
It's very inviting! Unless you want to say anything bad about anybody for any reason.
Can't imagine that'll come up.
