Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
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.
more like #4 considering the hexbear duplicate
I'm surprised lemmy.ml isn't on there, it seems really big from my limited experience.
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?
so small and yet so loud
Honestly I think their higher upvote / post ratio is a better formula. Most of Lemmy has too little engagement on it's posts for my tastes.
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...
They're just loud. Like a terrier.
Personally I would go with Monthly Active Users, e.g. since Hexbear has managed to run off a good fraction of its users over time (which lemmy.world is in the process of doing as well).
This puts sh.itjust.works as #4, which it's been for a good long while, above Lemmy.ml and Hexbear and nearly all other instances.
Link, but the URL does not preserve the options shown, so you have to resort by Monthly Active Users.
Man, I just wanted to chant "We're #5", now I have people coming at me with facts. :p
(Jokes aside, I appreciate it. There's nuance to these metrics and what best accounts for 'size', particularly for those cases/services where the metrics reflect a little bugginess anyway)
I think when we yell "five", there should be a spirited booty shake.

See, everyone is coming in and talking about different means of measuring instances, the implications for the fediverse and the position of federated services against corporate monoliths like reddit.
But you, verity - you get it.
(which lemmy.world is in the process of doing as well)
I'm one of them. Luigi censoring was the catalyst. I came to Lemmy to get away from corporate censorship. It also doesn't help that it's slow as fuck on desktop compared to the others I tried.
sh.itjust.works is at #4 by total posts as well, since hexbear was counted twice in the OP.
It's both amusing and unsurprising that lemmynsfw is second though
Wouldn't total posts bias towards older instances though, counting posts over time rather than activity today? So then good point that sh.itjust.works is so high up by both metrics:-).
While lemmy.ml continues to fall - by active users I think I recall it was #3 at some point, then #4, while now it's #5, where based on the gap below it, it seems likely to remain since users are now more distributed than previously (which is a good thing!:-).
If you exclude blocked instances, you're a lot higher than #5...
Yeah, we're pretty much #2, which seems thematically appropriate :)
Hexbear is counted twice, so you're actually #4.
This image is a bit disheartening, ngl
This is the instance I direct everyone to, it’s been the most reasonable AND least bothersome.
5/7
Im not seen as a specific subset like if I were to move to blahaj or Midwest (which would be my next two picks). I like being seen as 'just a person'
It, quite literally, just works.
*#4, hexbear (ew) is on there twice.
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.
They really aren't, 4k monthly active users out of 43k
4k too many
Your instance defederates from hexbear and grad already. You can choose to block ml in your account settings
But then what would they complain about?
Why heckbear 2 times? I am confuzzled
They're just that good at posting lol
Does that include the NSFW instances?
Perhaps the list originally started at 0...
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?
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
This is the best instance in fediverse in my opinion.
I'm good with my smaller community that is "seven seas friendly" in dbzer0
I imagine feddit.nl is nowhere near the top but I sort of like it that way.
20th by monthly active users, accounting for hexbear double entry
https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Definitely a good position
I don't know why, but I expected to see Aussie.zone here since it feels incredibly active to me haha
I got here as a kbin.social refugee and I can't say I have any complaints.
