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.
Did hexbear go through mitosis?
(Or are they going through mitosis like how USSR did in 1991? 🤣)
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.

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
dang I did not expect .ee to be on top behind .nsfw
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?

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.
I got here as a kbin.social refugee and I can’t say I have any complaints.
what happened with kbin?
Its creator and only maintainer started having health problems and that was it.
