Right? I'm still trying to figure it all out but I don't get what the benefit would be to having a username on a big instance. Seems like bragging rights would go to people who have their own instance.

But also the op didn't say it was a win... they just stated the fact. So there's that.

We really really need to stop emphasizing growth of individual instances.

It entirely defeats the point of federation.

That explains why it's struggling to federate

Is it stable?

Yeah but a lot of those subscribers are probably bots.

99.53% stable to be exact!

You bet, it is online 99% of 50% of the time.

That's more than my body is online

Wait until it is twice as big. :)

That's interesting. I picked up memebership in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world (same username) after trying Beehaw and finding that I was met with an endless circle of progress when submitting...
