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!

Also a fellow ex-Bacon Reader user, same deal. So far I'm using Connect for Lemmy to try to get a similar feel, what app are you using?

Jerboa is the closest I have tried to the Bacon Reader experience.

I'm using Jerboa. Its good and its very similar to Bacon Reader. I'm just missing the bacon reader setting "hide read posts" and the hability to swipe to navigate and read posts.

Connect has both ;)

Liftup, which is somewhat close to BaconReader too. Couldn't use Jerboa due to it not connecting to lemmy.world at the time I joined.

Tried wefwef too and it's great, but the iOS-adjacent UX is not right for me.
