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.

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

“Non-bot Lemmy instance” Go talk to the beehaw’ers about that, they’re convinced we’re the bottiest of instances. =P

Not bottiest. They specifically said it was the trolliest.

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.

It’s four volunteers dude, they’re allowed to do what they think is best for their instance. This is not their full time job

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.
