Every time I browse https://lemmyverse.net, I see one of the top instances in terms of registered users is https://enterprise.lemmy.ml. Right now it has 54.2k users, putting it behind lemmy.world and ahead of lemmy.ml. However, if I go there, there's almost no content, even on All (which implies it's not federated).
