Anyone have the numbers for Lemmy specifically?

    Lemmy has about 40,000 monthly active users. Lemmy.world accounts for about 15,500 of that. That's about 40%.

    Thanks. Yeah .world is definitely a bit too big, but it's still miles better than bluesky.

    On the one hand one instance having so many users is not ideal. If the mods/admins there go wild you can simply move, and organically the communities hosted there would appear elsewhere.

    So in real terms any action they hypothetically could take can realistically be countered.

    I think it gives them a little bit too much power in negotiating with other instances, especially with the number of communities hosted here. Choosing to stop interacting with them is a very drastic action because much of the threadiverse is here. Especially for me who has already cut out .ml which also has a disproportionate number of communities due to its age.

    I've personally started creating my new communities on other instances to spread it out more. You create an alt on a fitting and reliable instance, create it there and then give control to your main account. My latest community is on mander.xyz.

    For sure entirely defederating would be hard right now. But you're could selectively block communities on your own instance. As I say if they did do something so heinous others would pick up the communities and it would be easier.
