The drawbacks of https://instances.social are known, but my guess is that the s^{-0.5} power law distribution of the number N of instances per instance size s [1] is probably insensitive to the small number of instances that are effectively <s>defederated</s> off-network.

The N \propto s^{-0.5} distribution and the deviations from that [1] don't yet seem to be well-known. #SMinusHalfDistribution
