      All I see is proof that the biggest instances have the most users.

      Your statement doesn’t account for thousands of people who had issues during signup. Nor does it account for thousands of people who have accounts but don’t post/comment/interact.

        I get your sentiment but it doesn’t match data that tracking websites are showing. A lot of these 40,000- and 50,000-user instances literally have fewer than 10 active users (most have only 2 or 3). For comparison, lemmy.world currently has 45,000 users with around 12,000 active users (see screenshot below).

        I’m not bashing lemmy (I love it, actually), but the bot signup situation has gotten really bad this week.
