I know there was some schism and moving of instances, but beyond that I can’t deduce what happened/is happening.

    We’ll see “which” 196 ends up being the de facto, but my money’s on .world just due to user numbers

    investigates

    As of this writing, it looks like the userbase on each is:

    Community Subscriber Count
    [email protected] 270
    [email protected] 4490

    EDIT: [email protected] has 16,800 subscribers, but if you figure that it’s been around for a while and probably some of those accounts aren’t active or are duplicates from people changing home instance or the like, active users might be a better metric. It’s had 1.46k users active in the last day, 5.38k users in the last week, 9.8k users in the last month, and 19.4k users in the last 6 months.

      I wouldn’t wanna call it for a few weeks at the very least, and sub numbers feel like an odd metric to me since I barely sub to anything on lemmy. The blahaj instance seems to have a lot more activity at the moment for instance, but a lot of that was just frantically reposting old content from the other instance so 🤷🏻‍♂️
