EDIT: Just crossed 26000!


Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.

Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml's 36000 (not taking new signups).

beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.

Exciting to see all this growth!

I would not be surprised if lemmy.world will outgrow lemmy.ml this month. Lemmy.world has a lot of active communities and meanwhile lemmy.ml. is not allowing new registrations and many of the existing communities look like they are no longer maintained or used.

Yep still get subscribe pending for lemmy.ml but lemmy.world is ready with the instant subs ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

The devs don't want to run the flagship instance with all the sysadmin and moderation issues that brings. You made the right choice :)

Yeah if the rate of 3-4k new users per day keeps up, lemmy.world should overtake lemmy.ml in just a few days even. Might even get another huge influx on July 1 when third-party reddit apps shut down.

That's my last day using Reddit for sure. I've already stopped posting/commenting/and voting. I'm in read only mode now lol

[โ€“] MicroWave 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You seem to be active here, so that's good!

[โ€“] Soullioness 5 points 1 year ago

Lol. I'm not sure my spouse agrees but yes I'm being quite active.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I reckon the biggest instances in a year won't have been made yet, we're in the equivalent of first year Reddit.

lemmy.ml seems to be mostly memes at this point
