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

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