What fediverse services are set up that way? For most projects, the flagship instance is by far the largest. For Mastodon it is something like 900k difference between the next most popular instance.

It’s unfortunate if the sh.itjust.works folks aren’t speaking, their listed rules seem pretty reasonable and the problem users appear to be breaking the rules of that instance too.
Communities have moderators too.
Very, I think the only larger "Lemmy-like" instance is lemmy.ml.
Joining is immediate, where some Lemmy instances require manual approval even now.
The main page comes off as more approachable and familiar. They also have a ton of local communities (or "Magazines") so people can do a lot even without the Federation. I find the Microblog stuff somewhat confusing, I think because it doesn't have much of a UI built around it so it is less familiar than Mastodon. It is fairly centralized though, in the sense that there aren't that many kbin instances out there.
The stats page lists users it knows about, including Federated (see also: the People tab).
Local counts can be seen at: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0 - currently about 22k.
FediDB uses the nodeinfo for its stats gathering, but has a delay.
It is reporting users it knows about, which includes federated servers. The local stats can be seen at https://fedia.io/nodeinfo/2.0, under users.
Currently kbin is the only one I am aware of.
I gel much better with forum format than microblog, mostly I don’t think I have anything worth saying on a microblog. I could see using it to follow people I’m interested in, but I can’t think of too many who fit that criteria. Also, they are all on TikTok. The only time I really used twitter was to get notifications when the ps5 was in stock somewhere.
In the past they had jumpers for the same purpose.
