We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

check https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse instead, we have MUCH more users than you think.

Edit: also note that beehaw isn't completely defederated. They only defederated from sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world.

They defederated from dozens of instances actually

Obviously censorship of any variety is a slippery slope, but holy hell some of what's listed there is problematic. If I joined Beehaw in the hopes of enjoying a safe community for various minority groups like they are trying to promote, I'd feel decidedly un-safe seeing posts from skinhead instances and others with outright racial slurs in the names.

What is the skinhead one? It said it was pro lgbt?

[–] earthquake@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I decided to check on the skinhead one, because maybe it's not nazis, but....it's nazis.

[–] gator@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

i figured it was. i guess they just post that to lure people in or something.

The world is varied. It's probably better to accept it and start living in it, instead of hiding in a corner.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

They already have to do that in the real world. There is no reason they need to put up with it online too.

Holy cow! It would probably be easier do just allow those they want to see lol (whitelist instead of blacklist)

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

That's possible, so i think they might do that at some point haha

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh nice, you can edit the link and run it for any instance.

Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Lemmy.ee Sh.itjust.works

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If you want to check several you could do the main site

Edit: theres one with 20,000 defederations lmao https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=lol.lamp.wtf

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Lmao that's nuts. I'm just glad lemmy.ee isn't in their list, they're federated with everyone :D

Also, it's nice that I can see your edit! Edits didn't seem to federate from lemmy.ml.

[–] ulu_mulu@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's total users tho, I think OP is referring to lemmy.world users only.

[–] TGRush@forum.fail 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They linked to fediverse.observer for the entirety of Lemmy tho 🤔

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

the 28.5K (now almost 29K) I mentioned are for lemmy.world only obviously yes, I linked to fediverse.observer so that one can also check the growth of the other Lemmy instances 😁

[–] ulu_mulu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's what I said?

[–] ulu_mulu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

OP link is split per instance and they're referring to lemmy.world numbers, not the entirety of lemmy.

[–] chrizbie@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

This is so exciting, each day I feel more and more at home in the fediverse
