Looking at the pages for lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, lemmy.world, kbin.social, as well as lemm.ee paints an interesting, if expected, picture.

For one thing, lemmy.ml is categorized as “Games > Games - Other (In United States)” which made me scratch my head to the point of hurting my scalp. The rest are uncategorized (which is better than being miscategorized, imo).

Now, for the stats:

Instance	Total Visits for June 2023	% Change from May 2023	Bounce Rate	Pages per Visit	Average Visit Duration	#1 Incoming Traffic Source (from social media)
reddit.com¹	1.7B	-3.36%	37.98%	6.21	8:24	Youtube (52.48%)
lemmy.world	3.5M	n/a²	38.12%	6.62	8:44	Reddit (97.29%)
kbin.social	2.9M	+5000%	26.24%	11.2	9:18	Reddit (93.92%)

• ¹ – reddit.com is included as a point of comparison
• ² – lemmy.world didn’t exist yet in May 2023

We can see that the larger instances are already performing well in comparison to reddit when it comes to “interaction” statistics. It’s a surprise, however that kbin.social trounces everyone else it was compared to–even comparing favorably with lemmy.world in visit numbers. In comparison, lemmy.ml performed quite badly especially in bounce rate and average visit duration. Someone who’s better equipped than me in analyzing these figures can perhaps do a better anaylsis, but from what I can see, we’re not doing that bad here.

I’ve also added lemm.ee into the mix just for good measure (and perhaps as a proxy for smaller-ish instances), and it’s doing quite good as well.
