45k it is! Many thanks!

Thank you! This includes also non-lemmy/non-reddit-like sites, such as Mastodon, PeerTube etc, right? I tried to but couldn’t find in your link what is the share of Lemmy instances.

So pretty much stagnant as of now?

I love it, I posted a playlist in this genre the other day, but I’m specifically talking about the retro-inspired EDM style, not the goth stuff that used to be called synth wave in the 80s (which includes dark wave but also things like Oppenheimer Analysis)
