I wonder how many of the accounts on world are ones that are just left for dead as people moved around to other instances. I myself was day one on world but the outages became too much.

Probably a lot. I expect LW to go down to something around 17k, maybe even a bit less

I was also on world but switched to lemm.ee when they defederated hexbear.

Made my first Lemmy account on Lemmy.world on the first weekend of June, but the outages of late June/early July pushed me (with some encouragement from others who've already made the jump earlier) to make a lemm.ee account. It was only supposed to be an alt, to be used when Lemmy.world is unusable, but the Meta fiasco then made me decide to make lemm.ee my main.

Count me as one, tried to setup 2Factor Auth, but it wouldn't take the number from my token generator and didn't generate any error message.
