They're purposely disruptive to the community, they are not part of the community.
Active accounts is not active users. We shouldn't lie to ourselves. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of active users is half of the active account number.
Yeah I'm not disappointed to see this instance close up.
Theirs is a "Loli/Shota/Cub Friendly" instance according to their sidebar. That's why they aren't federated with many instances.

That's not entirely true. The default UI for Sublinks is being developed to be dramatically different than the default UI for Lemmy. It's unclear if the Lemmy UI will be made available by lemmy.world if they change to Sublinks. Its also unclear if lemmy.world will simply redirect to sublinks.world.
It's also unclear if lemmy.world will use sublinks as sublinks currently doesn't exist in a form that's usable for lemmy.world. And it may turn out that what is built doesn't work as intended and lemmy.world will continue to use lemmy indefinitely.
