Top three #lemmy instances (lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org) are all basically the same size.
With #kbin 's kbin.social and fedia.io (run by infosec.exchange) in the same range.
I experienced it today looking for #NBA communities for the #nbaplayoffs , and it seems the biggest community right now (after literally 1day) is on lemmy.world not lemmy.ml
the threadiverse is a new colloquial name for Kbin, Lemmy, BrutaLinks, Prismo and any other fediverse software that implements a "link aggregator" type interface that has been popularized by the likes of SlashDot, Digg, Reddit, Hacker News, Lobsters etc
I'm not sure if it also encompasses #Guppe (groups project bolted onto Mastodon), #Friendica (has private and public forums), #Hubzilla (has private and public forums) and #Streams (has private and public forums).
Looks like those who read up on #Lemmy shun lemmy.ml since they know what "ml" stands for in this context. Otherwise, we'd have another case of the "lighthouse instance" being bigger than just about everyhing else.
Or, maybe they're doing a good job at promoting instance diversity? Here's their list of recommended instances ... I'm not even sure lemmy.ml is anywhere on there, and the top listed instances are not the biggest.
