A timeline I created of the total users at the top 10 Lemmy instances as a bar chart race: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/14058992/ and as a line chart: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/14080522/.

I’m going to bee honest, the mascot was a big factor in picking this instance for me.

So far it's not over run by assholes and brigades so I'm diggin it, even if content is sparse for now!

Don't bee absurd. That's no way to bumble your way through life!

Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

Only reason I didn't go to lemmy.ml is because their top post was "please go somewhere else." Lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.
