Looking at https://hexbear.net/nodeinfo/2.1 etc,

server posts comments
lemmy.world 800845 7237127
hexbear.net 430151 5692529
lemmy.ml 220476 1126615

IIRC we were top by posts/comments for years

We were top by all metrics until basically this year. That's why a lot of these guys scrub us from the metrics. They can't stand that the most active lemmy community is a bunch of trans commies.

Yeah it wasn't going to hold forever, reddit.world is almost 7x larger than hexbear. It was going to overtake comments eventually.

The problem of .world being so bloated is going to be a serious problem in a few years if other lefty communities don't defederate. After a certain point it stops being a way to draw in new users and becomes a drag on the community. The dialectic is in motion. 😔

You still have more human created posts Im pretty sure half of the Lemmy world posts are repost bots
