congrats from .ca!

while im here: does anybody actually know why lemmy.world grew the fastest out of all of the instances? its not the "main" instance like .ml, not a safe space like beehaw, and a normal general instance like itjust.works. im curious why out of all places, .world got the main influx

.world is biggest because it's the biggest. Also RIF.

Sync set up its community on .world, too. It's essentially the go-to fleddit community.
