I think lemmy.ml restricted registration and had a PSA telling people to join other instances. They didn’t gain that many users because they didn’t want to, probably because their infra couldn’t handle it (hence also the bouncing).
This, as well as their performance seems to paint a picture that explains the figures in the table. Thanks!
