😔
source?
facts don't care about your feelings sweetie, hexbear.net has more real engagement than any other instance, sorry your bot posters don't count!
I would’ve guessed 20x more.
We love our emotes 
I'm also impressed by feddit.de presence, Fediverse culture seems strong in Germany
Anyone from Germany care to comment on why this is? Y'all seem to have such a large presence on here compared to others
I'm from another nation-oriented instance that has an outsized presence, right next to Duitsland.
My guess is:
What is DACH?
German-speaking countries in Europe. Deutschland (Germany), Austria and of course the Confœderatio Helvetica (Switzerland).
Curious about the blank stats for hexbear. Should this populate over several weeks or do they pull from OUR statistics and it just didnt take them yet?
we've got fewer active users but have an outsized post/comment count
Yeah, dunno how #10 accurately reflects our rank because we are far and away more active than many of these instances
This is by monthly active users, not by posts
So dont even have a month of federation yet
:im-being-oppressed:
Where's Radio Free Lemmy when you need them
I wonder how many of the accounts on world are ones that are just left for dead as people moved around to other instances. I myself was day one on world but the outages became too much.
Probably a lot. I expect LW to go down to something around 17k, maybe even a bit less
Grats lemm.ee! Just gotta pump those numbers up and pass lemmy.world now
