Does lemmy.world really have 22000 users already? (self.lemmyworld)

Since my last post yesterday, lemmy.world has added over 3000 new users, bringing the total user count to 22000 today (source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). It firmly holds the position of the second-largest lemmy instance, passing beehaw.org by a large margin of 10000 users.

In other news, beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world a few hours ago. How does the third-largest instance only have 4 ~~mods~~ admins for its 12000 users?!

So much going on!

The growth right now is crazy, my chosen site/instance/? is struggling to stay up. I‘m really excited for this like I haven‘t been for any website in a good decade.

What's your chosen instance? And yeah, I haven't been this excited since the whole digg vs. reddit switch back in 2010. And then there's mastodon this past year. I remember reading about needing decentralized social media back then, and now it's finally here.
