Lemmy.world has grown by about 66.6% since reddit's API shutdown (self.fediverse)

Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.

Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it's great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.

So, welcome reddit expats!

Cool now join a server that’s not crowded. Hit “all.”Enjoy Lemmy with all the same content with zero lag.

Except for comment lag.

Haven’t had issues from where I am.

You may not notice federation lag, where comments don't appear in your instance for some time in comparison to their native or a more populous instance.

Afaik the only way to tell is to pull up the same thread from different origin instances and compare.

A post I made on lemmy.world has an order of magnitude more upvotes when viewed from Lemmy.world compared to when viewed from another instance. Beyond annoying

I think there’s a short delay. But still that would be on the server hosting the post being overloaded. I’m not 100% familiar with how the protocols work. But when I look at top day from sh.itjust.works vs from Lemmy.world the numbers are the same in my feed. So It must not be a major difference in most posts.

Could also be because of an update not being rolled out to one of the servers. Just a guess.
