In addition to lemmy.world, the #2 real lemmy instance, lemmy.ml, seems to be growing as well.
Our neighbor, kbin.social, has also reached the 40k milestone today.

bruh that k6qw lemmy instance 45.9k users right now but ZERO posts. wtf.
these bots are gonna be a problem
And my conspiratorial side makes me think that they're not here by accident
Yeah it's ridiculously blatant that instance is full of fake users.
Oh, found a post by the admin of that instance, it's from a week ago
its the default setting of every new instance to require approval, on my instance i dont require email verification so i thought i could at least have people write something to let me know they’re human. in the end no one uses my instance so I just opened it up, maybe after some registrations ill make it an application again.
Boy oh boy, @gaylord you're in for a fun time there, bud
48k users right now btw, he's getting a lot of bots
And he hasn’t posted anything for nearly a week.
They've already replaced him.
I still see him as the only admin of that k6qw instance.
I was trying to be subtle... but what I meant was that the bots have found him IRL and replaced him... Invasion of the Botty Snatchers...
Gotta love that uptime too!
The next 40K will be even quicker.
Here representing kbin! I honestly keep trying to go back to a lemmy.world from time to time but I prefer kbin's experience overall. Fantastic news for all involved!
The fact that you're seamlessly commenting in a lemmy.world post from kbin.social is amazing.
It's such an amazing system! Really impressing me and I plan to stay regardless of what Reddit does!
I actually just had to bail on lemmy.ml and come over to lemmy.world.
Turns out the zScaler web filters they use at work have a blanket filter on the entire .ml TLD... Can't be having that now...
ELI5 on the blanket filter please
I think they mean that work has a filter that blocks *.ml (anything that ends in .ml)
Why is country shown as Finland? The server is host in Germany AFAIK.
According to the website, it's based on the server's IP location.
IIRC it's hosted at Hetzner, and they have datacenters in Germany, Finland and the US. That could be the reason that the wrong flag is showing up.
Hey that sweet Finnish flag was the reason I chose it! I feel cheated now :(
good
"Non-bot Lemmy instance" Go talk to the beehaw'ers about that, they're convinced we're the bottiest of instances. =P
Wow, what did they say in particular?
More accurately they defederated from lemmy.world due to "concerns" about it's open sign-ups policy and the potential for "abuse".
It was less about intangible "concerns" and more that most of their time spent moderating was from users of this instance and since they're strained on time, it made sense to simply defederate until the necessary mod tools exist to make things easier.
Not bottiest. They specifically said it was the trolliest.
Nothing of value was lost
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊 lemmy.world
I'm new here, too! Just made the account. <3 Never liked Reddit, but open source stuff is always nice, plus, Lemmy looks way cleaner. So uhm... henlo!
Great news! But how do lemmy.fediverse.observer and fedidb.org separate "bots" from "non-bots"? It feels like "we don't have any bots" is a pretty laughable thing to say.
They currently do not separate, unfortunately.
@MicroWave I don't know about bots but I think Kbin has a little over 41K users right now: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0
I don't understand. You say 40k but on the statistics page of kbin https://kbin.social/stats it says 200k users (?)
I'm not sure what that 200k users number really means, but the raw data directly from kbin.social currently shows it's grown to 41k users: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0
kbin.social is a Kbin instance, not a Lemmy instance, so it's not stopping lemmy.world from being the biggest Lemmy instance.
