We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving ๐ฅ

It is only a big deal if new people.sign up there, get a poor impression of what lemmy is, and never try any other lemmy experience again.
That is what the big deal is. People want lemmy to be successful and to grow into a network of servers with good participation.
I dont care what beehaw does, I just feel they should not be listed on discovery sites while they are not sanely federated.
You're right, it's a problem for new users unfortunately, beehaw should be quite more explicit on their server descriptions and rules.
Not sure about delisting them, that would be detrimental to those actually looking for a place like that, but they surely shouldn't recommend people to go there as a general instance, it's not just about federation, even if they were federated, that place is not for everyone.
