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.
Sources:
bruh that k6qw lemmy instance 45.9k users right now but ZERO posts. wtf.
these bots are gonna be a problem
And my conspiratorial side makes me think that they're not here by accident
"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.
Nothing of value was lost
Gotta love that uptime too!
I actually just had to bail on lemmy.ml and come over to lemmy.world.
Turns out the zScaler web filters they use at work have a blanket filter on the entire .ml TLD... Can't be having that now...
ELI5 on the blanket filter please
I think they mean that work has a filter that blocks *.ml (anything that ends in .ml)
.ml tends to be one of the most abused top level domains for malware, spam, etc (in terms of ratio of malicious to non malicious domains) similar to .top, .buzz, .club, etc. So, many DNS filters on company networks simply filter all domains of these TLDs (and maybe whitelist a few known good ones) since they tend to be almost certainly malicious.
I filter them on my home network too via pihole (though not .ml)
The next 40K will be even quicker.
I'm new here, too! Just made the account. <3 Never liked Reddit, but open source stuff is always nice, plus, Lemmy looks way cleaner. So uhm... henlo!
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊 lemmy.world
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!
Why is country shown as Finland? The server is host in Germany AFAIK.
Hey that sweet Finnish flag was the reason I chose it! I feel cheated now :(
good
I don't understand. You say 40k but on the statistics page of kbin https://kbin.social/stats it says 200k users (?)
kbin.social is a Kbin instance, not a Lemmy instance, so it's not stopping lemmy.world from being the biggest Lemmy instance.
Great news! But how do lemmy.fediverse.observer and fedidb.org separate "bots" from "non-bots"? It feels like "we don't have any bots" is a pretty laughable thing to say.
@MicroWave I don't know about bots but I think Kbin has a little over 41K users right now: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0
