In one case that's been discussed, there was a group of moderators; and one of that group chose to set the sub private without the others' consent.

This is really great news :). I can already see great potential with Lemmy.

Some thoughts

So nodes and instants are interchangeable terms
wth 140k? I thought we were around the 30k mark or something. Great!
Lemmy.ml is bigger than .world but world has a lot more active users? Interesting. I think .world will be known in the future as the redfuge instant.
Beehaw defederated? That kinda defeats the point of the fediverse, doesn’t it? I’d be a little mad if some moderator could make that call for me if I was registered to Beehaw

Beehaw will certainly federate back when the problem at LW with trolls/fascists/racists/etc will be properly modded. The problem for beehaw is that LW is a victim of its success and beehaw is just protecting itself. Once properly moderated, beehaw will open its arms to LW.

I was a reddit user for a long time but I feel at home here. I'm happy with how easy every thing is to use. Good luck.

Pretty grand, don't hesitate to allow the tamest of ads to help maintain things!

Some growth pains but I'm managing. :) When I upvote, it looks like the vote is undone after a few seconds but it looks like it actually sticks when I reload the page. Same with commenting. Looks like it takes a long while even if it in reality happens more quickly. I think there are some issues with their websockets code or something but the important thing is that it works. :)

So it's about the size of a smallish-medium subreddit, then?

Edit: 10% of the size of r/rpg. Or about half the size of r/tarot.

How much of reddit's userbase is bots?

How long have these subs existed? I doubt that either one grew by 150k users within the first week after being created, and the "reddit exodus" has only just begun... if this trend continues, lemmy.world won't be at "just" 150k anymore in a month or two.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Not to mention a lot of those subs were "default subs" (subs that new users were automatically subscribed to when they signed up for Reddit) before Reddit got rid of those.
