Since my last post yesterday, lemmy.world has added over 3000 new users, bringing the total user count to 22000 today (source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). It firmly holds the position of the second-largest lemmy instance, passing beehaw.org by a large margin of 10000 users.

In other news, beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world a few hours ago. How does the third-largest instance only have 4 ~~mods~~ admins for its 12000 users?!

So much going on!

That's very interesting. I didn't realize it worked that way. You're saying when one instance comments on a external instance the comment itself is still hosted by the first instance? It is hosted in the first instance and and update is sent to the external instance which would host a duplicate copy (but in this case is rejected)?

I've read most of the Lemmy documentation but these nuances of the architecture aren't well covered.

Edit: just found this post which clarifies it all: https://lemmy.world/post/149743

Thanks for the link. It cleared up a slight misunderstanding that I had as well.
