Pretty straight question.
I see Lemm.ee is now the second most populated instance based on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, with 3634 monthly active users.
I also know that Lemmy devs said that
lemmy.ml is bigger than beehaw, and only costs 80 euros per month for a dedicated server.

As lemmy.ml has 3561 monthly active users, should we consider that around 3,5k-4k users is the sweet spot for an instance population, and stop recommending the ones that reached that threshold?
Interesting. The costs of LW seems much higher, but also they have 20k more users
Have they gave the specs used to run it? I’m really curious.

Yikes, but this is a collection of multiple things being ran too. Mastodon/Lemmy/firefish
