This instance is an accident. Kaity created it for me to play with, when lemmy was barely a thing, before hexbear was federating and before the reddit exodus happened.

And then when the reddit exodus happened, we had something like five active users, but still, as the only queer instance that was federating with the rest of lemmy we got a huge influx of people. And suddenly, instead of being a single person instance, we had become a community almost overnight.

Which, as an aside, means we've been around for longer than the vast majority of lemmy instances.

Our history is far more boring than your version.

At least a part of that huge influx was caused by a post in r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns telling people of the instance's existence. That's how I found it anyway.
