The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

The data this is based on comes from https://lemmyverse.net where you can just download a full json of the data they have (I excluded all communities marked as "suspicious")
EDIT: The data if you sort by active users last month:

Community Users:
I thought they were blocked everywhere. What's going on? Bunch of bots or something?

No, it’s just a big community by itself already. So while some big instances have it blocked, they have enough users to just have activity from their own instance.
It isn’t big though. They just get kicked out of everywhere else they go for being disruptive assholes, so for every community there’s a hexbear duplicate
lol, what disruption did they do when LW "pre-emptively defederated" them "as a last resort"? Or did they just get banned for being leftists?
