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!

      One of those is mine, after finding out that LemmyNSFW can’t reach lemmy.ml, but FMHY can reach both. Probably not the only one.

          Yeah, it’s sad. I guess it makes sense; just now I saw two posts from “lewd loli” from another instance in my “all” feed, and I imagine that’d be awkward if it happened to lemmy.ml. It does mean I’ll need a separate NSFW and SFW account, of which one will probably just be ignored completely. Or I could spin up my own instance, so small nobody will bother to block it.

            If this stuff really catches on I predict there will be services built around setting up private instances for that purpose.

      Where do you find that info? I want to track that.

          How did you extrapolate 16000 abandoned accounts when lemmy.world was just created a couple weeks ago?

              What you said still doesn’t make sense.

              Normally, an account is considered inactive after a few months of inactivity and subsequently abandoned after maybe a year or more of inactivity (depending on whether the service enforces this).

              The oldest account on this instance is about 2 weeks old.

              The active user count is the count of all unique users from an instance that made a comment or a post within the last month. So that means we have 6k people posting and commenting and 16k lurkers.
