Subscribed

Origin: late Middle English (in the sense ‘sign at the bottom of a document’): from Latin subscribere, from sub- ‘under’ + scribere ‘write’.

I chose my instance because of the admin (Stux). Basically, I knew that I could trust that it would be well run and have great moderation standards. It’s a small server for now and pretty sleepy. Most of my subscriptions are from lemmy.world and a few other larger servers but it doesn’t matter. I guess “local” might be less useful but that doesn’t bother me. I can say that, over the two weeks I’ve been here, I haven’t experienced any sort of performance issues or downtime.

The one case where I could see it being important is creating new communities – it’s probably more likely to have one take off on a larger server.

No problem! Cheers :)

FediDB tracks server software across the Fediverse. They track activity and overall ‘market share,’ which I think is what you’re looking for.

They’re also tracking the Threadiverse specifically.
