No. lemmy.ml used to be the biggest instance with the most communities originating there. (And the instance launched by the developers.) It has been the flagship instance. But it's a thing of the past. Just have a look at the statistics. For example here or here. The biggest instance currently is lemmy.world with about 5 times the active users. And since the reddit exodus, most of the active communities have been opened on other instances.
