Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities
(media.gehirneimer.de)
The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

It’s a leftist server. LW defederated from them months ago because they have some, well, interesting takes on things like the war in Ukraine. I can’t recall the exact cited reasons for defederation but I’m sure you could find the defederation post on lemmy world’s announcements page.
Most instance defederated from because they are tankies that talk a lot of bullshit. However, im not entirely sure if I would really call them leftists. More like communistic Authoritarians, yes, communism is something mound mostly in left communities, but not to sure if their takes on human rights for people with other opinions and stuff like that makes them really left.
I’d be comfortable calling many of them red fash but I was trying to be diplomatic.
.world never federated with Hexbear from what I remember. I'm pretty sure they were on the block list before Hexbear got federation completed. There was no single incident as far as I know.
