On this awesome list of Lemmy instances it doesn't list Beehaw, does anyone know why?

I was under the impression that Beehaw was a fairly established instance of Lemmy.
It is established. The chart seems out of date now that many servers have upgraded to 0.18 from 0.17.4.
It's not the worst thing that Beehaw isn't being advertised. The goal is more to curate a tight sense of community and friendliness, over growth for growth's sake.
I'm pretty sure Beehaw was on this list a few weeks ago, so perhaps they don't like the defederation approach. I can see why they wouldn't want to guide new users to an instance that isn't strictly a reddit clone.

That's a very plausible explanation.
I can appreciate that. I don't like how homogeneous some places seem to become with massively more people.
could be for a lot of reasons, most of which are likely innocuous. on the admin side of things we don't put too much stock in these nor do we really pay much attention to them, and we're certainly not hurting for new user referrals.
Perhaps the author doesn't consider Beehaw an awesome instance. It's definitely controversial atleast.
I suppose that's true. Maybe I'll see what "awesome" means and see if it can be added. I mean there are hundreds of instances listed with very little on any of them.
I'd imagine it's because of how many instances it's gone excommunicado with.
