The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

Community Count:
Community Users:
Active users is the standard metric used to check how much a service is used (at least as far as i know. its what i see when i look at stuff published for investors).
hexbar is on the sixth place in term of number of active users with 1.8K , lemmy.world is 18K (enable the “active users” column and sort by it to see the full list)
Always nice to see lemmynsfw doing well. Those guys are going to bring a lot of people here
I couldn’t imagine being a moderator there, the amount of shit they must see uploaded has to be enormous. This would apply to every media-oriented instance but due to their nature I am guessing it’s worse
Oh definitely
It would be the hardest thing to moderate if lemmy blows up though.
Hehehe hardest hehehe
I think it is odd that they have no community in the top 100 anymore when sorted by active users
I think it’s good.
Do they even have original posters? I thought it was just onlyfans farmers reposting their Reddit content.
last i checked lemmynsfw just looks like r/gonemild though
I added it to the main post :) And yeah should have done so in the initial post as well…
Thanks!
It’s a real mystery, where could these instances possibly be located?
(apologies for derailing, I don’t know where else to post this)
“Private” in these fedi-surveys are just a complicated way of saying “behind Cloudflare” without saying behind Cloudflare for some reason.
I love me some Cloudflare MITM for my browsing data and authetication credentials. yum…
Pretty sure lemmy.ca is hosted in Canada
Yeah right, if lemmy.ca is in Canada then aussie.zone and lemmy.eco.br are in Australia and Brazil. Get a load of this guy.
