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!
They need to slow the growth this place has become nearly unusable.
The nice part about federated software is that there are other instances you can join :D
The API hasn't shut down yet. I don't know wtf they are doing at reddit hq but many of the apps, and nsfw posts, still work completely normally with no changes.
Maybe this explains why my Jerboa and Connect for Lemmy apps are sometimes showing network error and JSON pop ups.. but that's okay. Hopefully the situation will get better soon
14k users per week, 22k users per month, makes it look like a bunch of people tried it and then didn't come back.
I'm not sure how accurate that part of the stat page is, given we have very little usage data compiled into a short sample size, during a time of high growth.
Most people don't know that the lemmy.world instance was only started on June 1 or June 2 this year, and is only a little more than a month old. A month of crazy growth to become the most popular Lemmy instance that fast, with more growth likely to come.
Where can I find a lemmy community 'list like Reddit have please?
Have a look at !newcommunities@lemmy.world . Sort by top if needed and especially this post
Edit: and I also learned about !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
I used to sub to new subreddit via such subreddits, or in comments of posts that showed me through a discussion. Or sidebar of subreddit on related ones.
It's mad, even when it wouldn't load I felt no need to return to Deddit. Keep up the good work all.
Lemmy world domination continues - I've noticed in the last few days the world communities on each topic have all surged into first place in subscriber numbers.
