Well done everyone, being more active than the memes community is quite a feat

The biggest non lemmy.world community, great to see, this is good for decentralisation, lots of thriving communities in lots of different instances.

Definitely!

Congrats everyone! There is still a long way ahead and but it is a great starting point. Honestly, I've always been curious about decentralizing and digging into alternative services and the current situation has been a nice pretext to actually change things.

The most difficult part will be to keep the things going and keep Lemmy communities alive by actively posting, commenting, etc.

Personally i wish other communities related to free software were there in the top, to me this buy european thing looks like a slippery slope into nationalism

[–] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 23 hours ago

It's already nationalist.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 23 hours ago

There's an increase of activity in !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as well

Suprised no ML community is in the top 10. Back when I joined it felt like ML was much more active than it feels now.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago

They haven't been that active for a while. It's usually mostly LW and the top communities of a few instances (e.g. !europe@feddit.org )

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

You are making all those meme communities look like slackers!

Good luck, and may you be like !selfhosted@lemmy.world circa two years ago.
