Interesting to see how high Lemmy sits. That is basically total users divided by number of instances.

    I find that hardly surprising. There aren’t many lemmy instances out there yet, it is relatively hard to discover groups hosted elsewhere, and the whole UX lends itself towards a “many groups on one server, why venture elsewhere?” approach. Naturally users cluster to the(ir) “main” instance. From a resilience/federation perspective that is a Bad ThingTM, just like it is with Mastodon (that monopolized the microblogging federation space so much, it has become synonymous with it in many peoples minds).

    Here’s to hoping other lemmy-compatible1 servers will be written.

    1 Let’s not get into a discussion of how all ActivityPub implementations are compatible, shall we?

      I am not a heavy Mastodon user, but I heard about Misskey for the very first time yesterday. From what I could gather from the few-days-old conversation, it’s only now starting to gain traction as “everybody seems to be jumping in”.
