    Sorry dude, you’ll have to subtract one unfortunately. I created a NSFW account to have two different home feeds.

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

      We’re just behind cloudflare, the server itself and all us admins are Canadian.

      The great Canadian-Dutch war. 4 people were injured and Kevin’s mom made pizza pops for everyone after.

      Yeah I’ve genuinely not missed it, been just over two weeks and I’ve been having so much fun here I haven’t once found myself at a loose end wondering whats happening on Reddit

      Which is surprising considering i still run quite a few subs I started and mod a few medium sized ones, when I get back home in a couple of weeks I’ll convert my bots to message me via lemmy instead and I really don’t think I’ll be going back

    Came here right after Joey stopped working. Gave official app one good spin before deleting: virtually unusable.

    not a lot of midwesterns i guess (im on midwest.social)

      I bet we fall just outside the top 10. Seems pretty busy here to me, plus our LOTR memes make top upvoted pretty frequently. Honestly I’m wondering if the user distribution might be pretty dang good below the top 5 servers or so; 234k could be a serious underestimation of the actual active userbase if the next 20 servers all have 1k+

    Beehaw admins shot themselves in the foot, it was supposed to be the no.1 by now but they decided to persecute the left instead.

      Not really. They never wanted a large instance and didn’t want to become a Reddit replacement. I see them more like a federated Tildes, honestly.

        When I switched they were one of the biggest communities, I’m really surprised to see just HOW FAR they fell.

        beehaw defederating from lemmygrad was the entire reason why I created an account on lemmy.world

          It doesn’t appear like they value growth for growth’s sake. And that’s cool because it lets them focus on other, arguably more important, stuff. Many of our preconceived notions about social networking don’t translate well to the federation model.

    And to think you thought you needed a John Oliver AMA. John Oliver don’t have anything on me.
