The user count at the moment of this post stands at 33279 and continues to grow!

To take the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (36185 users and no longer growing), lemmy.world just needs about 3000 new users. Given the current growth rate, that should only be another day or two.

We’re building something here! Kudos to lemmy.world admin @[email protected] for all of his hard work keeping this site running smoothly.

Then the other instances (including new ones) should step up their recruiting efforts as well.

Also, lemmy.world‘s user base is still nothing compared to Reddit’s 52 million daily users, for example.

Putting a pause on growth over some arbitrary number seems silly at this point, especially when lemmy as a whole is still in its infancy. Putting the cart before the horse to me.

Easy to say, harder to achieve. Join Lemmy alreayd recommends smaller instances, but if you scroll a bit down, there are Popular which most peple will choose as they are very likely to not understand federation.

Oh users understand it. The problem with smaller instances is they might not have the expertise and funding to run for a long time. And if something goes wrong you can rely on more help. Also you are locked in, because lack of account portability.
