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!

I doubt it’s the performance and more the lack of content. Even copy-pastas would be good at this time.
The content here feels much better than other alternatives. Squabbles is stale by the end of the day (smaller userbase) and discuit is painfully quiet. It's not perfect, but the content here actually helps me to tolerate the server growing pains
Content is king imo. Let's do our part and keep Lemmy thriving.
Squabbles faces another huge uphill battle since it doesn't allow NSFW content.
