    Yeah, actually. Of the top five four instances by MAU according to FediDB, lemmy.ml has 9% of the total user base.

    I know there a pie charts that illustrate this point better, but I can’t find them right now.

      So here’s a question: how many of the top active communities does it host?

        According to lemmyverse.net,

        One out of the top ten when sorting by MAU. That community is !memes@lemmy.ml.

        Say what you will about the Lemmy devs and their political leanings, but they did a great job at ensuring the broader Lemmy community would not centralize onto their instance.

            I don’t know. I’m just making rough estimates. Suffice it to say that that the lemmy.ml admins do not have any power over the vast majority of lemmy users.
