There are 63 instances according to Jerboa.
Do note that this doesn't actually account for an accurate total of Lemmy instances across the Fediverse. It is a hardcoded list of instances.
Edit: Correction, its a generated list of instances (that gets copied into Jerboa) that have a MAU amount of more than 50 as pointed out below.
That list gets generated based on the lemmy instances tracked by fediverse.observer site that have a monthly active user amount greater than 50.
Fair point! I'll update my comment to reflect that.
Oh, okay. So how many are there?
My favorite way of discovering new communities / instances on Lemmy is through Lemmyverse and it shows 1,378 instances at the time of my writing!
@russjr08
That's awesome thx!
@favrion @fediverse
Wow.
I think 10 is enough for me.
