    Meh. These stats are so flawed. Its like 5 servers having most of the users.

    Its like pretending we have this amazing distributed network when its actually extreamly centralized.

    But im happy Lemmy is growing, its good.

      Fedidb observes 50k monthly active users. 65% of these are distributed between instances with more than 2000 monthly active users, making up the five biggest instances. Half (51%) are on either Lemmy.world or Lemm.ee, which are the only instances with more than 3000 monthly active users.

      A fourth of us are on instances with less than 1000 monthly active users.

      I don’t think that’s all that bad. But who am I to say, I’m not even part of the statistic. :)

        imo we should focus on a statistic on the entire Threadiverse instead of only Lemmy. After all, these software are highly intercompatible, so excluding them doesn’t make sense.

          I agree - but I also appreciate that all instances of Mbin and PieFed combined currently have fewer monthly active users than lemmy.dbzer0.com alone, which is only the seventh biggest Lemmy instance. So for now it doesn’t make much of a dent whether we’re counted or not. :)
