I wish it didn't block them. I can block individual instances and the instance of commenters is in plain view, just block them as you encounter them if they come of as too strong. They have some decent communities where sometimes there's interesting things to read. Basically only some of the LGTB ones but yeah.

There's quite a few instances with pronouns, which is great.
Hexbear stands out to me for using double sets of pronouns, presumably because twice as many pronouns means you're twice as progressive, and therefore twice as superior to people with only one set of pronouns.

You are indeed a simple man.

And also blocks the word "removed".
Try it if you don't believe me and have a Lemmy.world account.

How exactly is "active" measured?
Logged in? Commenting? Posting? Net time spent on Lemmy?
I feel like the metrics need to be a bit more refined to actually make a qualified statement.

I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).

Oh I didn't mean to criticise you posting it, just wanted to question the source. Sorry if it came across that way.

No issues at all :)

I switched off of world because I got tired of my feed only working about 30% of the time. It had been extremely normal, to the point where I can't recall the last bit of downtime. Don't underestimate the ability to actually view content on lemmy as a driving factor here...

predicatble: lemm.ee is reliable: on the other hand shi.tjust.doesn't.work, and feddit.de has that walled garden beehaw vibe to it (tight moderation). i would predict discuss.tchncs.de would grow if it maintains good uptime record. also external factors could affect ranking like legal prosecutions when caching illegal content and ddos'es, like the other instances cant do much about those either

sh.it works pretty well for me
eestileib@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 3y
Yeah I'm a fellow sh.ithead and we had one big outage but otherwise it's been pretty reliable.
Jeff@lemm.ee · 8 pts · 3y
A solid instance for sure! My go to.
MagneticFusion@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 3y
Blamemeta@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 3y
And a lot less defeding. lemmy.world loves to defed.
Psythik@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 3y
It's so stable that I didn't even know it was popular.
regalia@literature.cafe · 4 pts · 3y
I migrated from lemm.ee a little while ago. I really liked it, but it got too popular and I'm hipster. So I gotta be unique with my new cool club instance, literature.cafe
gamey@feddit.rocks · 2 pts · 3y
Are Beehaw and Hexbear counted too? I feel like they probably would appear before feddit.de but maybe I am wrong.
