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!

    Nice growth, looks to be slowing down a little - I wonder how much is related to the poor performance last few days

      It will just encourage others to find a home on other instances which is good for the fediverse ecosystem it’s not a bad thing :)

        Right now it seems a lot of people sticking around know what they’re signing up for with things in development. I’m all for a robust community of open-source trailblazers who are happy to be here.
