i joined dxcomplex because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name);
then it folded so i joined .world because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name);
then it got massive so i joined lemm.ee because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name)

i'm starting to wonder if i'm cursed

We did it!

Wait that wasn't the point.

This graph is actually wrong, lemmy.ml doesn't have open sign ups, it just appears to because the Lemmy software doesn't accurately distinguish between open and closed registrations, it only distinguishes between open registrations and application-based registrations. If registrations are closed it'll look just like they are open, but we'll just give an error message when you try to sign up which is incredibly deceiving.

I filed an issue to fix this discrepancy on their GitHub.

Another issue with this graph is that it shows lemmy.world as American but it's actually hosted in Finland.

Woah, we grew fast!

lemm.ee has been consistently great for me, wonderful admin too.

I chose ee over ml after what Mali started doing and that site could drop offline at any time.

Who owns lemm.ee and why do people choose it over other instances?

Noooooooooooo. Don't get too big or that'll just paint a target on our server for the DDOS attacks!

They should probably add a % measure to that to show active users as a % of total users to give a more balanced look at active instances

Oh goody. There's a RickRussell_CA@lemm.ee and it's not me. And it's using one of my older profile pictures.

EDIT: 2023/8/29 update -- I posted to the lemm.ee support community and the admins decided to disable the account. Well done!

Che, that means drama incoming.

lemm.ee best instance 100%

I contributed! After lemmy world banning the piracy community

Where's lemm.ee located physically?
