Don't sell yourselves short, your instance has a lot going for it due to your efforts!

Active admins who regularly participate and are easily reached if issues come up
Regularly update to newer versions of Lemmy
Appealing instance theme
excellent server up-time
Sought out Lemmy-federate to make it easier for new communities

All that takes time and effort to maintain, and a surprising amount of smaller instances can lack that. So cheers for all that you do, appreciate it man :)

Haha. Thanks a lot! Even though most of it is due to self interest :p
