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.

Hard disagree. Lemmy, much like Mastadon is SO confusing for the mass public to sign up for. If you have an instance that is popular and can handle the load, NEVER turn people away. You just make it more confusing.

If your server can't handle the load, fine. If you want specific users on your instance, fine. But if you're a general Lemmy instance that average non technical redditors want to sign up for, DO NOT TURN THEM AWAY.

Furthermore, Lemmy is just a blip in the radar of Reddit. Worrying about centralization right now is putting the cart before the horse. Let's build up Lemmy whatever way we can.

Yep, we should have a stable, general-purpose landing place (like lemmy.world is shaping up to be) for new users before they start spreading out.
