Beehaw was here long before the fediverse was popular and long before the reddit disaster that sent people rushing to lemmy. Before reddit happened, they were one of the few active and successful lemmy instances that wasn't basically just a lone admin hosting a personal instance.
They didn't "use the fediverse to help them grow". They helped the fediverse grow when hardly anyone else was around.
