I really want to see a data viz of whether/how much users are spreading out. Anyone got the data on user counts over time by instance?

That's exactly what I thought when I signed up. Well not in those terms because I didn't know much vocabulary for it then. But in general I like underdogs, so I went with a smaller one. I have no idea how big any of them actually are, but I know the big 2, and a handful of other common ones.

Use 1m column for monthly active users
Don't see a 1m column, but the users count column gave me some context.
You need to use "All columns"
Given I haven't advertised it anywhere, I'll take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the open instance I run: leminal.space.
The default theme's a bit quirky, but you can change that in your settings if it's not your bag.
Your theme looks great! Nice design chrisbit.
Thanks. I can't take credit for the design though because it's using the vaporwave theme that comes with Lemmy as a base with some modifications.
In that case, nice choice!
Can we make a thread of these smaller servers that are open to new registrations?
If I may start: I am running communick.news, which is one of the many Fediservice servers that I provide on Comunick. The first 250 registrations on communick.news server will be free forever, after that access will be only for paid customers. At the moment, there are ~30 slots taken.
To register, just sign-up and in the "application" question just let me know how you found out about the instance.
There are these instance migration tools you can use to get things over to your new account.
