Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:
- lemmy.world: 19516
- lemm.ee: 3779
- lemmy.ml: 2970
- sh.itjust.works: 2355
- feddit.de: 2293
Source: the-federation.info/platform/73
How exactly is “active” measured?
Logged in? Commenting? Posting? Net time spent on Lemmy?
I feel like the metrics need to be a bit more refined to actually make a qualified statement.
I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).
Oh I didn’t mean to criticise you posting it, just wanted to question the source. Sorry if it came across that way.
it’s just active user metrics, otherwise hexbear is top of the charts
I switched off of world because I got tired of my feed only working about 30% of the time. It had been extremely normal, to the point where I can’t recall the last bit of downtime. Don’t underestimate the ability to actually view content on lemmy as a driving factor here…
What happened to beehive or whatever?
Didn’t they defederate from some large instances until they get better moderation tools?
No idea. Would that make them no longer a node?
predicatble: lemm.ee is reliable: on the other hand shi.tjust.doesn’t.work, and feddit.de have the beehaw vibe: with tight moderation, and trying to be the next walled garden. i would predict discuss.tchncs.de would grow if it maintains continued uptime. also external factors could affect ranking like legal prosecution when caching legal content and ddos’es, like the other instances cant do much about those too
sh.it works pretty well for me
Yeah I’m a fellow sh.ithead and we had one big outage but otherwise it’s been pretty reliable.
And a lot less defeding. lemmy.world loves to defed.
It’s so stable that I didn’t even know it was popular.
A solid instance for sure! My go to.
I migrated from lemm.ee a little while ago. I really liked it, but it got too popular and I’m hipster. So I gotta be unique with my new cool club instance, literature.cafe
Are Beehaw and Hexbear counted too? I feel like they probably would appear before feddit.de but maybe I am wrong.
hexbear has ~1k users per month. we top the charts in comment volume but not users.

no we don’t, you’re just mad you aren’t the noblest position possible and you lash out at us when we critique you from the left.
MattsAlt@hexbear.net 2 years ago
It’s funny how for those who Hexbear is to their left, always use the critique of “they’re crazy” then compare us to right wingers without fail.
Absolutely no actual critique and the typical liberal understanding of politics that “there are only two teams, and if you’re not on mine then you’re on theirs”

I wish it didn’t block them. I can block individual instances and the instance of commenters is in plain view, just block them as you encounter them if they come of as too strong. They have some decent communities where sometimes there’s interesting things to read. Basically only some of the LGTB ones but yeah.
