    you’re doing your part in keeping the federation healthy and decentralized o7

  everyone goes to the most popular one because they think that’s the one with all the things on it that’s how the internet works that’s what everyone’s doing

  • Dave@lemmy.nz ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Everyone goes to Lemmy.world because it has (effectively) open registration and some popular Lemmy apps use it in their signup flow so new users don’t have to understand the intricacies of the fediverse they can just hop straight in.

    • Persen@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      And this is making a lemmy.world monopoly, which is bad for the fediverse (still better, than reddit).

      Everyone goes to Lemmy.world because unlike most instances it has (effectively) open registration

      The registration page does not look different really to the lemmy.nz one, same for lemm.ee, sopuli.xyz, sh.itjust.works has even one less tiny hurdle to jump to register. Didn’t bother to check others. Or i am missing something here?

    Yay centralization!

    • Dave@lemmy.nz ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m curious what this looks like for Mastodon. Of the top X accounts listed by followers, what proportion are on instances run by the Mastodon organisation?

    As a user, I really rally don’t want to start “instanse hoping” for lemmy. I just want to sign in and that’s it. Fediverse decentralized nature is also it’s drawback

    I went with it because I figured it had same peering defaults.

    It does, which is really nice.

  Ayy, lemmy.zip

  • Adanisi@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Ayyyyy

• Feathercrown@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  That contrast makes it impossible to read some labels

  source
• AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  awful.systems is up there?

  have to say i’m surprised. and a little disgusted.

  source

  • Omniraptor@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    How are they awful? I’ve had one bad and clingy interaction with them but nothing too out of the ordinary

    source

    • AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      i was more referring to the fact that as a snark community they don’t necessarily represent the best of us

• ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  This highlights the problems with the Fediverse pretty well. Even decentralized systems tend towards centralization.

  source

  • Serinus@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little centralization in your federation. It works well enough for email. The point is that you have the option, not that you have to use it.

    You don’t have to trade one extreme for the other. In fact, I think this is the perfect example of that. Lemmy.ml is the developers’ instance, and by default would likely be the largest. Except… you know. Many, many people started there before going to other instances, especially the largest competitor.

    • ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The issue is that the kid that owns the ball sets the rules. LW could do something heinous, and the only choices would be to cope or lose half the Fediverse.

  If i’m understanding the last graph right, it’s showing the total number of active monthly users per instance’s top communities, filtered by the overall top 100 communities?

  So if an instance has activity spread out over many niche communities, that activity isn’t represented on this graph?

  I would think having a diversity of smaller communities is more in-line with the spirit of the fediverse, I’m not sure of the value in slicing the data in this way.

• onlinepersona@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I thought they were blocked everywhere. What’s going on? Bunch of bots or something?

  • WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    No, it’s just a big community by itself already. So while some big instances have it blocked, they have enough users to just have activity from their own instance.

    source

    • TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It isn’t big though. They just get kicked out of everywhere else they go for being disruptive assholes, so for every community there’s a hexbear duplicate

  Your data quality is suspicious. You list only 2 communities for feddit.org. Lemmy Explorer has 148. I doubt that they’re all ‘suspicious’. And if they are, then that flag is itself suspicious.

  source

  • Blaze@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The title says “the 100 biggest Lemmy communities”

    I guess the 2 communities are !ich_iel@feddit.org and !europe@feddit.org

    source

    • bleistift2@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Aww. I confused “communities” for “instances” when I read the title. Thanks for pointing it out.

  Is there a way to create a pie like this but on an individual basis?

  Where is lemmygrad? I would have expected them to make it on the list

  • Mwa@thelemmy.club ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    some communist lemmy instance

    Their communities aren’t that active lemmygrad.ml/communities

  Is that table going under the sidebar and off the page for anyone else or just me? (on web)

  source

  • nokturne213@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    On mobile I was able to scroll it horizontally.

    • threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      On Thunder, everything (just) fits horizontally:

      I might have preferred to scroll horizontally a bit.
