What's the number #6 instance?

Great, but all this activity also has a subtle downside. Lemmy.world is by far the slowest federating instance I see on the Lemmyverse. It typically takes hours for posts and comments to reach my instance.

Hopefully improvements to Lemmy will make federation faster and more efficient. Sidekiq seems to do a good job on large Mastodon instances.

I guess the percentage of inactive lemmy.ml user is higher due to the higher percentage of older accounts.

If every lemmy.world active user committed to just 2 posts and 2 comments per day there would be 27,000 new posts and comments to read daily, or more than 1,000 per hour on average.

Who is Lemmy? Is this an underground movement thing on the dark web or something?
