EDIT: Just crossed 26000!

Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.

Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml's 36000 (not taking new signups).

beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.

Exciting to see all this growth!

I'd be one of those users too if I could actually register here. the button just spins forever. Been like that for days now. :\

Same happened to me. It's either the username isn't available or the password is too long

Long time lurker at Reddit, using Apollo, but now part of Lemmy, due to the disappointing action by Reddit. Thank you to this community for being a great alternative during this upheaval.

I'm in the same boat but with Rif, the funny thing is I've posted the same here in the last few days as the last year of reddit.

Hi I'm new here. Does it matter what instance I'm subscribed to? I don't know what the practical differences would really be from my experience?

if defederated there's a difference

see explanation here. https://lemmy.world/post/149743

I an new myself but I dont think it does. Only difference there might be is that some just lag more (lemmy.ml) due to so many users.

If you're having a hard time seeing all the columns on mobile, use "view as desktop" in your browser settings. It's the only way I can see all the columns. (Android / Opera)
