Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience (files.catbox.moe)

There are 63 instances according to Jerboa.

Do note that this doesn't actually account for an accurate total of Lemmy instances across the Fediverse. It is a hardcoded list of instances.

Edit: Correction, its a generated list of instances (that gets copied into Jerboa) that have a MAU amount of more than 50 as pointed out below.

That list gets generated based on the lemmy instances tracked by fediverse.observer site that have a monthly active user amount greater than 50.

Fair point! I'll update my comment to reflect that.

Oh, okay. So how many are there?

My favorite way of discovering new communities / instances on Lemmy is through Lemmyverse and it shows 1,378 instances at the time of my writing!

I think 10 is enough for me.
