I wonder if Kbin has 44k vs Lemmy's 37k due to the Lemmy front page loading bug under Hot or Active. It makes browsing the /All option very annoying, and isn't an issue on Kbin (which is why I'm defaulting to Kbin over Lemmy right now).
I'd say this way round is more reliable than having total users being the default. There are clearly servers with thousands of idle accounts (likely bot accounts) that are doing nothing (yet).
At least this way, people will know which servers are actually filled with people who are doing things.
Someone is going to be using those bots for some nefarious purpose at some point. Perhaps they wanted to direct people to that instance by using bots to push it to the top of the "most users" list and have a phishing link in there? I'm just not sure.
I cannot put into words how profoundly stupid this "feature" is. AOL and Geocities pages were genuinely more user friendly. Whoever added it, refreshed the page and said "yeah, this works well" and left it in should be fired! ...out of a cannon and into the Sun!
I recently was scrolling through my All feed and noticed some NSFW content on lemmynsfw.com. It was blurred but I wasn't expecting it. What do you all think of this? Should we continue to federate with some NSFW instances? I'm personally OK with it as long as the content is blurred unless I click on it but wanted to get your...
I went to Beehaw to see if this thread of messages was over there, and this thread is indeed visible there (I clicked on "more" then "copy URL to fediverse" to go see)!
I'm a brand new Street Fighter player. I've very casually played Mortal Kombat since I was a kid, but I never took any fighting game seriously. I'm having a great time playing ranked SF6, and I can already see improvement. All of these characters are new to me other than Ryu and Ken being in Smash and hearing some of the other...
Currently playing Ryu until I settle on a proper main. Did my placement matches and it put me in Platinum, which makes sense since I was Platinum in SF5 too.
Have not had much time to play though...only been able to do Ryu, Ken, Cammy and JPs trials so far before I hopped online to do my placements, and that's about it, maybe 6 hours or so.
Right now I just live vicariously through everyone else who posts their clips online.
It would be nice if there were a way to search fediverse-wide. Being able to type a question + reddit into a search engine is such a good troubleshooting tool.
"For example, you want to block lemmygrad.ml - go to kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml (d for "domain") and from there you can block the whole instance (click on the 🚫)."
I registered at lemmy.world and kbin.social since at the time, there was open signups for both and kbin.social hadn't started getting hammered quite yet.

What podcasts do you recommend?
Hi,...
Why on Earth does the Lemmy post feed update itself while I am trying to read it, and how do I stop it from doing that? (streamable.com)

How to search the Fediverse?
A week ago I could just use google to search for something specific and just append 'site:reddit.com' in the query and found the answer....
How can I block all Lemmygrad content? As a user can I block an instance? Are there instances that already block them?
Yes, so I want to browse all but actually control the content, block instances, block keywords, etc... currently using Jerboa, but not married to it.
The Migration seems to be going well! 125k on kbin.social instance alone, and over 100k across Lemmy!
