Just saw this on AskLemmy at .ml, thought this and chuckled, and now here we are.

Will take the opportunity to thank our admins for what they do, and all you humans for being here and generally being cool.

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.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 1 points 11 minutes ago (1 children)

I imagine feddit.nl is nowhere near the top but I sort of like it that way.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 7 minutes ago

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 :)

[–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 hours ago

All I see is sjw being #2.

Did hexbear go through mitosis?

(Or are they going through mitosis like how USSR did in 1991? 🤣)

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

Good spot. I also want to know, but I fear the backstory...

[–] frankenswine@lemmy.world 54 points 15 hours ago

more like #4 considering the hexbear duplicate

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 26 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

I'm surprised lemmy.ml isn't on there, it seems really big from my limited experience.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 22 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

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?

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 28 points 14 hours ago

so small and yet so loud

[–] Nothing4You@programming.dev 14 points 14 hours ago

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...

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

They're just loud. Like a terrier.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Does that include the NSFW instances?

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

Perhaps the list originally started at 0...

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

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.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 9 points 14 hours ago

*#4, hexbear (ew) is on there twice.
