The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Looking at the pages for lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, lemmy.world, kbin.social, as well as lemm.ee paints an interesting, if expected, picture.
For one thing, lemmy.ml is categorized as "Games > Games - Other (In United States)" which made me scratch my head to the point of hurting my scalp. The rest are uncategorized (which is better than being miscategorized, imo).
Now, for the stats:
reddit.com
is included as a point of comparisonlemmy.world
didn't exist yet in May 2023We can see that the larger instances are already performing well in comparison to reddit when it comes to "interaction" statistics. It's a surprise, however that
kbin.social
trounces everyone else it was compared to--even comparing favorably withlemmy.world
in visit numbers. In comparison,lemmy.ml
performed quite badly especially in bounce rate and average visit duration. Someone who's better equipped than me in analyzing these figures can perhaps do a better anaylsis, but from what I can see, we're not doing that bad here.I've also added
lemm.ee
into the mix just for good measure (and perhaps as a proxy for smaller-ish instances), and it's doing quite good as well.EDITS:
Lemmy.ca is +1615%
Added
lemmy.ca
into the table as well, because, damn, what a ride! I suppose given from the explanation I was given regardinglemmy.ml
's figures, it wasn't able to cope well with the flood of incoming users, I suppose?I think non English speaking instances like feddit.de are also not to be underestimated.
Damn. You're right! I was surprised that it surpassed Beehaw.org in page views.
We've actually handled it very well as while it's a major instance we are on the smaller side we also moved to a dedicated server at a good point right before it reached the limits of the VPS it was on.
Thanks for the clarification. I was just guessing based on similar bounce rates and average visit durations (
lemmy.ca
andlemmy.ml
).
