Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:
- lemmy.world: 19516
- lemm.ee: 3779
- lemmy.ml: 2970
- sh.itjust.works: 2355
- feddit.de: 2293
Yeah no exact opposite for me: Big server means lots of user data making abuse of it more appealing and impactful. While an admin of a small instance having some fun digging through user internals would really do no harm (I don't believe that's a particularly typical hobby of small instance admins though xD ).
