Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit's API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!

I was waiting for a MicroWave thread about this 😁

Congratulations everyone for this milestone! 🥳

[–] MicroWave 50 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I've been having a little too much fun on lemmy. 😁

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Or you might be 1% of 1%. I think it is great. At least until I arbitarily decide it is not. ;)

I’m trying to keep up with the fediverse jargon, but what the heck is a MicroWave thread?

[–] V4uban 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just done by Microwave, an enthusiastic poster

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh geez. Got it. Thank you!

[–] V4uban 6 points 2 years ago

No worries, have a good day!

Wasn't lemmy.world only created in mid June?

[–] MicroWave 64 points 2 years ago (1 children)

June 1, I think. Hitting 100k users in just over a month is kind of intense.

[–] thessnake03 32 points 2 years ago

Zuck, Spez, and Elon can suck my nuts!

[–] TheJack 52 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Well I'm loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.

I wasn't commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.

Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin @[email protected]

Pretty sure Lemmy is getting a ton of reddit users now that they pretty much ruined the user experience by making 3rd party app developers to pay money to use their api.

I just created an account here... I won't be returning to reddit!

Went from lurker to user today actually. It wasn't even the apps it was just the awful attitude towards users.

[–] Zed 28 points 2 years ago

What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.

[–] nostalgicgamerz 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And still silent on the status of Meta defederation.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

It's not federated yet anyway.

[–] LoQey 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe Ruud has stated elsewhere (on Mastodon or whatever it is called) that they won't do anything preemptively, but they're keeping a close eye on what Meta does.

The third party app I used for reddit said that this is the platform they were going to focus on. That's why I came. Those are the people I want to support. The people that make the experience better. Once they release an app I'll buy it first day

Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.

It's like catching a nice surf wave.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Good for you lemmy.world, congrats!

BTW, lemmy.world is #1 in the node sort by total users at the-federation.info

Now the trick is to keep the instance running well with that crazy high user load.

I'm not going back to Reddit, that's for sure. Unless...they come up with an i486 theme...🤔

Very happy to be part of this community - feels like home to me!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like Kbin better, but I am happy and proud to contribute to this rapidly expanding family of communities that repudiates control by megacorps and Big Tech.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The great thing is that there's no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.
