It’s not as extreme as Lemmygrad, but there’s a good deal of overlap.
A lot of people, despite using Lemmy, also disagree ideologically with the developers of Lemmy, and feel as though it’s a conflict of interest to both develop the platform and have a preferred instance on it.
I don’t block .ml and I think the majority of users there are fine, but there are a few specific people (a couple who I know also have alts on Lemmygrad) who just show up everywhere and tend to give the entire instance its reputation.
You can host your own instance, or use another Fediverse platform which integrates with Lemmy like Mbin or Piefed.
Edit: Also worth noting that your Lemmy instance (lemm.ee) announced they’re going offline at the end of the month, so if you’re looking for alternatives, there’s plenty of options on Lemmy as well as other platforms.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, still figuring things our.
How else would you use the platform without joining an instance? Just have a private server?
