Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit’s API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!

    Wasn’t lemmy.world only created in mid June?

    Well I’m loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.

    I wasn’t commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.

    Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin @[email protected]

        It is pretty sweet. The fediverse. It’s nice that we can all hang out. ☺️

      I absolutely love it. I can’t wait for the fediverse to thrive with lemmy integration for peertube and an imgur alternative

    What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.

    Pretty sure Lemmy is getting a ton of reddit users now that they pretty much ruined the user experience by making 3rd party app developers to pay money to use their api.

    I just created an account here… I won’t be returning to reddit!

      Went from lurker to user today actually. It wasn’t even the apps it was just the awful attitude towards users.

      I believe Ruud has stated elsewhere (on Mastodon or whatever it is called) that they won’t do anything preemptively, but they’re keeping a close eye on what Meta does.

      First, it is not just lemmy, it is the fediverse (replying to you from kbin.social - my preferred cup of tea). Second, I see that the mostly good people/posters are leaving Reddit, I do not see, for example, personal attacks when people disagree here in fediverse, I see no removed/moderated comments or posts. I am sure it happens here too, it is just so rare… it reminds me of the days of mass migration from digg. So, at least for now I think this is great, and it separates people who are ready to stand for principles from the rest. Welcome.

      Yea so far it’s great. I’d imagine once it’s easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that’s all things, so I’m just enjoying the moment tbh.

    The third party app I used for reddit said that this is the platform they were going to focus on. That’s why I came. Those are the people I want to support. The people that make the experience better. Once they release an app I’ll buy it first day

        Yep, same. That’s why I’m here now. On the Connect app though, but it feels similar to Sync.

    Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.

    It’s like catching a nice surf wave.

    Good for you lemmy.world, congrats!

    BTW, lemmy.world is #1 in the node sort by total users at the-federation.info

    Now the trick is to keep the instance running well with that crazy high user load.

      The devs have been working their butts off. They make post with complete transparency about their growing pains. The devs of leemy.world and others get together and troubleshoot as a team, especially lemmy.ml. everything is posted on GitHub. It’s awesome to see and support. I’ve been here for about four weeks now, and it has been fun to watch it grow, and participate in the user community.

    I’m not going back to Reddit, that’s for sure. Unless…they come up with an i486 theme…🤔
