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.

    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
