Instance has comparatively high and active userbase with a very high percentage of Linux users

That may be true, but your instance doesn’t have a very high percentage of engagement in this community outside of this post. Copying from an older comment of mine:

These are the top 3 instances commenting in this specific post at the time of writing (2023-08-25 08:02 UTC):

<span style="color:#323232;">instance   | count
</span><span style="color:#323232;">-------------+-------

</span><span style="color:#323232;">lemm.ee     |    61
</span>

These are the top 3 instances and their comment counts on any post in lemmy.ml/c/unixporn this month at the time of writing:

You’re reading that right, hexbear has a whopping FIVE comments in this community that are not part of this post.

One of those 5 is a user participating in the hexbear brigade in this thread that commented previously said rices were inspiring. But go ahead and tell me all those users are pillars of the linux community. Which bad faith argument will you use next?

Inb4 bRIgaDIng HAs To be ORGaniZed And we’re NoT; even though an acceptable use of the term is also when a particular group floods another community’s space that they don’t normally participate in. I know you lot have trouble grasping a term can have multiple definitions, so don’t hurt yourself champ.
