The overall Lemmy stats haven't changed as dramatically, but there has been an uptick in active users.

I found beehaw via the android app + mentioned in the abandon Reddit posts where commenters mentioned using beehaw for lemmy.

ETA: the android app is called Jerboa

Look, I'll be honest, beehaw was a funny name to have and also it's one of the top results in the app that actually looks like a web address.

A lot of sillier looking top level domains are cheaper then .com or .org and fediverse services are run off of donations so people opt for cheaper names.

If that's the case, I'm surprised the lemmygrad server doesn't use the .su top-level domain. I'm not even sure if those domain names can be purchased for it since the origin country no longer exists.

you can get an .su domain and there are a lot of them. they're unsurprisingly administered by a Russian institution according to IANA, the Russian Institute for Public Networks
