Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit's API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!
I was waiting for a MicroWave thread about this 😁
Congratulations everyone for this milestone! 🥳
I’m trying to keep up with the fediverse jargon, but what the heck is a MicroWave thread?
Just done by Microwave, an enthusiastic poster
Wasn't lemmy.world only created in mid June?
Well I'm loving Lemmy.world so far. Feels refreshing in here.
I wasn't commenting much on Reddit, but in here I feel like participating.
Congrats and thanks Lemmy.world admin @ruud@lemmy.world
Hello from Kbin. It's nice that we can hang out.
It is pretty sweet. The fediverse. It's nice that we can all hang out. ☺️

And still silent on the status of Meta defederation.
It's not federated yet anyway.
I believe Ruud has stated elsewhere (on Mastodon or whatever it is called) that they won't do anything preemptively, but they're keeping a close eye on what Meta does.

What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.
I just signed up the other day once I discovered the dev for Sync was starting development on a Lemmy app.
I wanted to ask regular Lemmy users... What is your opinion on the influx of people from Reddit? Do you fear it will change the social atmosphere here, or do you welcome new users to the community?
I've seen plenty of posts venting about Reddit already, and I imagine that'll probably get tiring really fast for long lasting Lemmy users (Lemmyers?)

Pretty sure Lemmy is getting a ton of reddit users now that they pretty much ruined the user experience by making 3rd party app developers to pay money to use their api.
I just created an account here... I won't be returning to reddit!

The third party app I used for reddit said that this is the platform they were going to focus on. That's why I came. Those are the people I want to support. The people that make the experience better. Once they release an app I'll buy it first day

Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.
It's like catching a nice surf wave.
I'm not going back to Reddit, that's for sure. Unless...they come up with an i486 theme...🤔
Very happy to be part of this community - feels like home to me!
Good for you lemmy.world, congrats!
BTW, lemmy.world is #1 in the node sort by total users at the-federation.info
Now the trick is to keep the instance running well with that crazy high user load.

I like Kbin better, but I am happy and proud to contribute to this rapidly expanding family of communities that repudiates control by megacorps and Big Tech.
The great thing is that there's no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.

It's amazing how well it handles the load now compared to just a few weeks before

glad to be a part of this community!
It's been handled amazingly well on the whole, too!
This is the place to be. I'm hoping some communities jump over. I've seen a few use discord that is not a good replacement at lol.
