startrek.website

Looks similar to the other instances except if I missed something

ttrpg.network

They have indeed hidden the LW communities somehow, interesting. However, they only have 131 monthly active users.

Leminal.space

If that's just the theme, users of that instance using Voyager or any other alternative frontend wouldn't see any difference. Or am I missing something else?

So, what we mean by “Lemmy”, then, is the circle of 5 - 10 largest, unfocused “general interest” Lemmy-based sites?

I would rather say it's the other way around. On top of the 5 instances I picked, my statement is true for the All feed of most of the instances except the few ones you picked. So on top of the 5, there is at least

https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy provides a list you can filter by monthly active users.

Most of the instances offer the same All feed, and the ones who do not are the exception rather than the rule.

beehaw, which probably should be seen as a better model for how to operate a Lemmy-based website.

How is defederating the 2 largest instances, and not updating beyond 0.18.4 a better model?
