im still relatively new to lemmy and am crossposting or whatever the term is , from lemmy.world but its mind boggling that the tankie sect is as big as it is on here.
sh.itjust.works Main Community
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
I imagine feddit.nl is nowhere near the top but I sort of like it that way.
20th by monthly active users, accounting for hexbear double entry
https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Definitely a good position
I got here as a kbin.social refugee and I can't say I have any complaints.
If you exclude blocked instances, you're a lot higher than #5...
Yeah, we're pretty much #2, which seems thematically appropriate :)
All I see is sjw being #2.
Did hexbear go through mitosis?
(Or are they going through mitosis like how USSR did in 1991? 🤣)
Good spot. I also want to know, but I fear the backstory...
more like #4 considering the hexbear duplicate
I'm surprised lemmy.ml isn't on there, it seems really big from my limited experience.
Post on an instance are not necessarily the right metric to how active the users of an instance are, just how many large and active communities are there.
No really, .ml isn't even in top 10? Did they opt-out from these statistics or are they that small?
https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Edit: well I guess they really are that small. But total posts they have at 147k, what is going on here?
so small and yet so loud
based on the creation date advertised by the instance, lemmy.ml exists since 2019-04-20. lemmy.world exists since 2023-06-01.
Huh, you're right. In fairness this is cropped from an image shared on the AskLemmy .ml thread, so I'm not 100% sure what's going on there. Edit: Image is legit. Weird...
They're just loud. Like a terrier.
Does that include the NSFW instances?
Perhaps the list originally started at 0...
All this instance flexing has me feeling like a friend trying to get his other friends to like each other. Can't we all get along? I mean, at least the ones that don't promote hate and fascism?
Tbf, Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml all promote hate via being tankies. And the latter two tangentially support fascism because they support Russia in the current war, because 'Murikkka bad and therefore anyone that hates them must then be good
I mean this is the ideal. Most of the time I'm right there with ya. I'm just really attached to this instance - doesn't mean that others are bad for not being on this (upon review, actually somewhat problematic) list.
*#4, hexbear (ew) is on there twice.
