I'm not thrilled about the concentration on lemmy.world, and it's no coincidence that most of my posts are to my home instance and a growing community on lemmy.zip.

I'll admit to trying to have it both ways, though. I still post on [email protected] because it could be a draw for new users, and I'd rather have a robust population on a concentrated Lemmy than zero growth (and I'm not the type to discuss world news/politics in this setting).

Oh what I wish that would have been a table.

Nice post but hard to read. How about using tables?

| head 1 | head 2 | |


|


| | body 1 | body 2 |

like this:

| head 1 | head 2 |

| body 1 | body 2 |

Edit: are we sure the data is correct? For example; Lemmy.ml has 16 communities over 10k. Which are linux, memes, asklemmy, technology, worldnews, privacy, opensource, gaming, fediverse, unixporn, linux_gaming, reddit, science, lemmy, selfhost, jerboa.

You are looking at subscriber numbers, and this table counts Monthly Active Users (who posted, commented or voted) of the community.

(yes, it is a table now :))
