I’m also impressed by feddit.de presence, Fediverse culture seems strong in Germany

Anyone from Germany care to comment on why this is? Y’all seem to have such a large presence on here compared to others

I’m from another nation-oriented instance that has an outsized presence, right next to Duitsland.

My guess is:

  • Germany is a big, populated country
  • People from DACH also gravitate towards feddit.de
  • The culture kinda gives itself to the project
  • The NL and the EU are the main funders of Lemmy
  • The government itself is embracing the Fediverse

I wonder how many of the accounts on world are ones that are just left for dead as people moved around to other instances. I myself was day one on world but the outages became too much.

Probably a lot. I expect LW to go down to something around 17k, maybe even a bit less

Made my first Lemmy account on Lemmy.world on the first weekend of June, but the outages of late June/early July pushed me (with some encouragement from others who’ve already made the jump earlier) to make a lemm.ee account. It was only supposed to be an alt, to be used when Lemmy.world is unusable, but the Meta fiasco then made me decide to make lemm.ee my main.

The .ml is the country extension for Mali, which was colonized (read that how you want) by France along with other regions of Africa. Just recently French troops left Mali after a nine year military operation to fight Islamic militants.

Curious about the blank stats for hexbear. Should this populate over several weeks or do they pull from OUR statistics and it just didnt take them yet?

Yeah, dunno how #10 accurately reflects our rank because we are far and away more active than many of these instances

Well, you’ve got a 3 year head start as I understand it, no?

Hexbear is at 1.62k MAUs, good for 7th most on Lemmy (ignoring lemmynsfw.com because it’s presumably filled with alts).

But your 3.7 million comments absolutely dwarf every other server. Props on that, but it’s largely representative of past activity.

I believe that your admins are blocking that information from being scraped. If that’s not the case, then it’s probably due to the fact that you guys run a unqiue fork of the Lemmy code.

But it’s certainly not about the timing, afaik.
