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

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

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

It would be the hardest thing to moderate if lemmy blows up though.

[–] TheBat 14 points 2 months ago

Hehehe hardest hehehe

I think it is odd that they have no community in the top 100 anymore when sorted by active users

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I think it's good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

last i checked lemmynsfw just looks like r/gonemild though

[–] Linkerbaan 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do they even have original posters? I thought it was just onlyfans farmers reposting their Reddit content.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

There’s a few OC users there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Quality over quantity is what I would prefer. I think LemmyNSFW is a potential determent for other instances.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I love me some Cloudflare MITM for my browsing data and authetication credentials. yum…

Pretty sure lemmy.ca is hosted in Canada

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I added it to the main post :) And yeah should have done so in the initial post as well...
