I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.
minus-squareWhoRoger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoLemmy.ml actively asked people to sign up elsewhere. They have a small server and aren’t meant to be a general instance. Lemmy.world is run by people who have one of the larger Mastodon servers, and actively advertises to be open and neutral.
minus-squaremorrowind@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThis is the correct answer. The devs have been saying this for years but new users often weren’t aware of this and saw it as the default instance. It’s good to see that’s changed.
minus-squareIlllIIIlllIlllI@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·1 year agoThey’re not neutral though. They’ve already started defederating instances with users whose opinions they don’t like.
