Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:

Non-techy people want a big instance, but .world goes offline too often and .ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.
When I tested different instances lemm.ee was quite small compared to the big ones. The main pros are technically fast and stable. It also federates comprehensively.
Edit: also remembered that it hasn’t had any insane admin/rule situations that I’ve noticed
It does, however one must know what is six minus two to get the approval.
That’s new, they were closed for a while
They were during the thick of the Reddit migration
They got aome of the most traffic during the migration, so it pulled itself off the instance list page i think for regiatration so that people would join other instances leveling the load
Oh they do again? I was looking to make another account on there a week or two ago but the registrations were fully closed, just finished the signup now
I guess I missed that. Then yeah, that affected the statistics.
Do I qualify now? : )
It also doesn’t allow NSFW which other instances are littered with.
lemm.ee itself also doesn’t allow porn but that’s a “don’t post it with your lemm.ee account” type of rule. I think it also gets filtered out of the all feed, but you can definitely subscribe to stuff over on lemmynsfw.com. Long story short porn is a bugger to mod and the legal situation when hosting (and uploading an image with a lemm.ee account would imply that) is never trivial, either.
Somewhat relatedly, image upload limits are also rather strict, 100kb, to avoid that becoming a resource hog.
That’s reasonable! Although AFAIK lemmynsfw is one of the most defederated instances ever, so there’s a lot of options.
It actually censors curse words too. I’ve actually come to like it though
I think that’s going a bit too far, but also understandable.
What? I have never seen any censored words on lemm.ee
Oh, it only censors them when displayed to its own users
Lud is a lemm.ee user. Did you mean lemmy.ml?
Yeah
You sure about that? I just made this account a few days ago.
They closed sign ups during the early days of the migration up until recently. I just missed the moment they’re open again since I’m not interested in large instances.
Also lemme.ee is not defederated from one or two instances that I want to access consistently which is why I made a new account there for my new main
