Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

[bentigorlich@gehirneimer.de]

The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

The data this is based on comes from https://lemmyverse.net where you can just download a full json of the data they have (I excluded all communities marked as "suspicious")

2 observations:

1. Wow I didn't think hexbear was that large. That's unfortunate...

2. The fact that Lemmyworld is like 40% of the pie is NOT good. People are clearly not understanding or not caring thay the point of the fediverse is to prevent any one instance from having too much power. People need to leave lemmy world and join other smaller instances. If lemmy world were to shut down, imagine how many of the most popular communities would be gone.

Sure, but getting people on a fediverse platform is still good.
