guessing this doesn't include hexbear.net because they aren't federated yet but they have 270k posts and 3.6 million comments on their own, mostly well before the start of this graph, so it ought to start at more like 500k
But I'm so glad to see lemmy taking off properly, not just used for some niches. FOSS internet infrastructure that is accessible to end users is so important, it safeguards a lot of important freedoms, etc.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wasn't trying to stir shit, its just interesting (though entirely understandable) how that site gets left out of these kinds of posts. It has a lot of inertia to still have 1500 monthly active users, and a huge amount of content, after >3 years of being split off from reddit and receiving little outside attention
I find it funny when people cry "FrEdOoM oF eXpReSsIoN" when instances defederate. Isn't this the whole point and the good thing about federated social media? People who own the instances decide what to do with their instances
