Of the top five, sh.itjust.works seems to be the best. Definitely the instance that I would recommend to new users.

Well I would recommend it since it works, hence the name, shitjustworks lol.

In all seriousness, you can't start a new platform and simultaneously expect to exclude large segments of potential users. Shitjustworks seems to toe the line better than other instances. They ban spam/bots while still allowing most content.

Generally, I recommend avoiding the top two instances if you are considering creating an account, and I would recommend avoiding beehaw for other reasons. So that leaves you at shitjustworks.

Hey that's me!

[–] Rush@geddit.social 6 points 2 years ago

it is much more when you look at the entire Threadiverse, e.g all Lemmy and Kbin instances combined, it is even more, at 134.000+ active users (created accounts are inflated due to people spamming bot accounts)

Does anyone know where I can find that bot that takes all my subs for me, an allows me to import them into a new account? I really dig reddthat, however there have been a few scares already, and I'd love to have a core backup so if I do move around it's easily set up.

I used https://sub.rehab/ to import my reddit subs. Didn't do all of them but it's good enough so far

Who would have thought, taking away a huge reason why people use your platform and being a douche bag about it would drive people to use other platforms.

[–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

why are so many lemmy.ml users not active compared to .world or beehaw?
