hexbear.net isn't on your list
New users can register accounts without an application
Users cannot create communities
It is not federated and as such fully siloed
There are slur filters and NSFW content is not allowed
Downvotes are disabled
About 300 active users every day
Underselling it? 431 currently logged in at time of this comment and it hits 600 concurrently logged in at peak time basically every day. The statistic this repo uses is also:
By that metric I think Hexbear is still the largest lemmy instance. It would be the third on this list if you only count daily concurrent login peak.
Based on data from August 2022 api survey of active users, with active being a user that has commented or posted that hour. with the qualification it will be lower than the user count displayed on the page which are users logged in.
I see, so it's commenting accounts per hour. Would be interesting to see what the commenting accounts per month is to more accurately compare to this list. Although this list doesn't make it clear whether they are using accounts that have commented or accounts that have simply participated via logging in and voting, I would personally include any voting account as "active".
Yeah that makes sense, we will be able to get more up to date information after the relaunch
Only wish we knew what the definition of "active" being used was more clearly.
the lemmy source code is public
I mean in this git. "Active" is at the entire discretion of the person that made this list and is not quite fully defined.
Instances aren't added manually. They're discovered using lemmy-stats-crawler.
As long as your instance is federating, active, and the API is reachable then it will make it onto the list.
Edit: It looks like your instance's API isn't reachable, which may be why it's missing:
Please fix the availability of your instance's API.
hexbear is currently running an old version of lemmy that doesn't support the v3 API or federation. migration to a more modern lemmy is in progress
