We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving ๐ฅ
Funny thing for me, is that Beehaw was the first bit of the Fediverse I ever came across. Tried to sign up, twice, didn't work. So that's how I ended up on .world, the first group I found that didn't want an essay to sign up.
Hats off to the creator of LW, it canโt be easy running a server this big. I do hope we donโt just dominate the fediverse though, would kinda defeat the purpose of it.
I've ended up making accounts all over the place since I started over a week ago, just recently found an instance for my country so that's my new home! I freaking love this fediverse, feels good man
I signed up for both kbin.social and Lemmy.world as I'm figuring things out. So I'm sure there's plenty of cross over between the members of each community. I just wonder how much.
Wish I could actually log into my lemmy.world account on desktop. Works in Jervoa, but neither Chrome, nor FF let me get past the spinning wheel of the login button.
