@simsa03 OK, but  it never had an instance that was maintained by the developers (not that the current developers of GNU Social actually maintain ANYTHING, which is why I agree with @Gnusocialjp that this instance will one day be the flagship instance). https://gnusocial.jp/url/26239 is still the flagship instance of lemmy and https://gnusocial.jp/url/1199585 of soapbox, even though neither is currently the largest of either community. (lemmy only recently lost that spot thanks to the #RedditMigration and the OG instance not being particularly welcoming of anyone outside their particular political persuasion).
