I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    Beehaw isn’t as well known in general. It’s always the third one mentioned when discussing Lemmy or Kbin.

    And Lemmy.ml has been banning people for criticizing China, so…yeah, no one outside of extremist types want to be a part of that.

      Beehaw is also… very particular. From what I can tell they want to encourage and magnify the closed-off, echo-chamber part of reddit.

        Yeah, when I was looking for a post-redit home I checked out beehaw.

        Strike 1: no downvotes

        Strike 2: application period to create an account

        Strike 3: I read the beehaw mod’s “philosophy” posts and I got the general idea of what they were saying, but they just sounded a little… odd. Like they were thinking things through and were going around in circles without really getting anywhere. By contrast, the tildes.net philosophy posts seemed well-thought-out and very readable.

          Their application questions are also kinda weird. I was gonna sign up for beehaw and the application really turned me off.
