“Heavier than any other creature, including the dinosaurs”… this author doesn’t seem to know that blue whales are heavier than any of the dinosaurs.

Started a list in the comments

So far I’ve found:

https://lemmy.world/c/preppers 268 subscribers, 2 users actively posting

https://lemmy.world/c/preppers@lemmy.ca 76 subscribers, a few users actively posting

https://lemm.ee/c/prepper 58 subscribers, 1 user actively posting

https://lemmy.world/c/prepperintel 56 subscribers, no posts in a few weeks

Starting a small list of what I’ve found for posterity. See my self-reply

I really want to see a data viz of whether/how much users are spreading out. Anyone got the data on user counts over time by instance?

Yeah I mean it’s a lot harder to take back your territory if you’re limited to only fighting within that territory. They’ll have to strike within Russian borders to successfully get their own land back.

No I mean there’s some weird bug in Memmy. My second account went down and I had to reinstall Memmy to access my first one

Until that other one goes down, then memmy really struggles to let you in. At least that’s what happened to me.

Have you figured out an efficient way to mirror your community subscription list between them?

It’s true that several instances (the ones hosted in Mali?) closed, but I think you’re premature in saying the smaller instances are disappearing, Lemmy.one included.

Sure, they’re bound to crash or go down for maintenance from time to time, but that doesn’t mean they’re finished. So far my experience has been that if you give it a couple days they’ll be back. Keep in mind these are shoestring operations and sometimes seeing major influxes of users.

I think they basically have built up a tolerance to those bacteria. They probably got sick at some point and survived.

Linked in a comment within that post, this appears to be an extremely comprehensive list:
