    Sorry dude, you’ll have to subtract one unfortunately. I created a NSFW account to have two different home feeds.

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

    Beehaw admins shot themselves in the foot, it was supposed to be the no.1 by now but they decided to persecute the left instead.

      Not really. They never wanted a large instance and didn’t want to become a Reddit replacement. I see them more like a federated Tildes, honestly.

        When I switched they were one of the biggest communities, I’m really surprised to see just HOW FAR they fell.

        beehaw defederating from lemmygrad was the entire reason why I created an account on lemmy.world

          It doesn’t appear like they value growth for growth’s sake. And that’s cool because it lets them focus on other, arguably more important, stuff. Many of our preconceived notions about social networking don’t translate well to the federation model.

    Why is kbin never included in these breakdowns? Is it not “formally” considered lemmy or something of that sort?

    Came here right after Joey stopped working. Gave official app one good spin before deleting: virtually unusable.

    I have high hopes for Lemmy, but I don’t think that having a lot of users is going to be a super positive thing in the long term. It’d be great if it could feel like younger Reddit for longer than younger Reddit did, you know? Stay at least a little under the radar.
