Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:
Canadian and running on 99% renewal energy were all I needed to know to join sh.itjust.works
Also the name is top notch! And it’s been pretty true to it too.
I like how the name can be read in 2 ways: shit just works and shh it just works!
There was a rough week or two there but it’s been good lately. Happy being a part of it though.
is there a canada based domain running under lemm.eh? because if not, there should be.
.eh isn’t an available top level domain
I’m confused why it says it is in the Netherlands
I thought that was the French flag? I figured it got confused by the instance being bilingual.
My people!
Also two good reasons for me as well.
It’s strange that it doesn’t report a Canadian flag on the graphic in the post heading though. Looks like Netherlands?

This graph is actually wrong, lemmy.ml doesn’t have open sign ups, it just appears to because the Lemmy software doesn’t accurately distinguish between open and closed registrations, it only distinguishes between open registrations and application-based registrations. If registrations are closed it’ll look just like they are open, but we’ll just give an error message when you try to sign up which is incredibly deceiving.
I filed an issue to fix this discrepancy on their GitHub.
Another issue with this graph is that it shows lemmy.world as American but it’s actually hosted in Finland.
Oh goody. There’s a RickRussell_CA@lemm.ee and it’s not me. And it’s using one of my older profile pictures.
EDIT: 2023/8/29 update – I posted to the lemm.ee support community and the admins decided to disable the account. Well done!
Uhhhhh. Yeah this was always something I was worried about with multiple instances. Having multiple usernames run my different people. The @ at the end will be crucial for people keep them separate

is there a way to transfer my account to another instance? lemmy.world for me is unreliable and slow :/
Damn it, I chose lemm.ee as my backup account (primary is lemmy.world) as it wasn’t the number two…
The reverse Tinkerbell.
Good for them. Glad to see five different ones over 2200.
