Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!
Welcome new reddit expats!
Crazy!! I don't envy the admins lol, tho they're doing a fantastic job in keeping the server up.
Someone should post this in r/UpliftingNews
I am currently writing some more instance stats graphs on lemmyverse: https://lemmyverse.net/instance/lemmy.world/user-growth
You can clearly see the growth! More to come :D
Man the servers got hit today didn't they!
The future is looking bright
I have slowly been trying to redo my frontpage here and so far with all those migration links it's been a breeze
And yet fediverse observer is showing declining user count, while server count, comments and posts are growing steadily.

Why?
This probably happened with every Lemmy server out there.
I was having timeout issues with most that I tried to use.
Today everything seems normal.
Glad to be here!
Very happy to see that such a strong migration is actually happening.
