EDIT: we just crossed 30K 🥳
We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving 🔥

You’re right, it’s a problem for new users unfortunately, beehaw should be quite more explicit on their server descriptions and rules.
Not sure about delisting them, that would be detrimental to those actually looking for a place like that, but they surely shouldn’t recommend people to go there as a general instance, it’s not just about federation, even if they were federated, that place is not for everyone.
