Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.

With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!

What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?

Lol, no, it's too leftist for a lot of people.

Yeah, aceshigh might've confused lemmy.ml for the wolf something instance (genuinely can't remember). I'm a refugee too so I've only read about it but afaik it got defedersted pretty quick and died soon after.

While lemmy.ml is leftist and the devs are leftist, they aren't militant about it. Might be me tho. Though I'm biased, I'm leftist too.

Yeah, I'm definitely on the left side of politics as well. But I believe in free speech, and as long as racist bigots aren't facilitating violence or other crimes, they have a right to talk to each other. Doesn't mean that I want to be in a space where views like that go unchallenged, or support the people that make it possible.

It is interested that things went down like this right away in a federated landscape. Reddit really struggled with this for years, but it seems like the federation model was much more effective at moderating.
