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

    Is there a way to create a pie like this but on an individual basis?

      Lemmy.world has no lock in on their “power”. They have the most volunteer labor, money, and infrastructure. That’s makes them stable, so people aren’t worried about their data suddenly going offline (like kbin) and they don’t worry about the service being flaky.

      My guess is that they just needed to have their own community for a lot of stuff because so many instances are defederated from them. Though I am not sure…

        I guess it’s also natural that subcultures that tend to be banned elsewhere are early adaptors of alternative platforms.

        We’re lucky we didn’t exist when the Trump extremists on Reddit went looking for a new home, or they would probably have been one of the biggest fields in this figure. Hopefully when the right wing extremists arrive instance admins will have the good sense to defederate.

        If I remember correctly, Hexbear was there before the exodus. So that wouldn’t make sense.

          Hexbear is older than most of the fediverse, and didn’t have federation enabled for years. It’s a very self-sufficient community.

      They have less than 500 MAU. It’s just a bunch of losers yelling at each other.

      Correction, updated data is actually closer to 2k MAU. They are the 4th most active instance, topped by lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, and Lemmy.world.

    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)

    I might as well leave lemmy.world

    I’m only concerned about how to transfer all my stuff to the new account. Mastodon makes it super easy.

      Idk if you can transfer likes comments and posts, but you can go to your old account from a new one and star everything with the new account pretty easily. So that at least can transfer.

      Nah I’d say this is right on par with the philosophy of the instance. Lemm.ee is moreso infrastructure for interacting with the fediverse than a specific community
