Wow, since my post yesterday, lemmy.world has added 2000+ new users to cross the 30000 user mark! Just think, it was only at 20k three days ago. Crazy growth.
With that, lemmy.world is the clear second largest lemmy instance and has left the third largest instance beehaw.org’s 12k in the dust. It’s now within 6000 users to overtake the #1 spot from lemmy.ml (their registration is closed). Exciting to see this growth!
What are some of your favorite communities on lemmy.world so far?
I've joined two days ago and so far I'm really liking it, it seems like a nice alternative and there's something about it that really feels fresh, I think it's the fact that it's kind of slow content wise as of now since it takes time to build communities but that just makes me appreciate it even more.
we're witnessing something great taking place and I'm glad I'm part of it.
lemmy.ml’s mods are marxists and pro-China, even in favor of the fascist atrocities, such as the Uyghur genocide/ethnocide and the Tiananmen Square massacre. Lemmy is open-source and they have indicated that people should use other servers if they don’t believe in those ideals because they mod that server with them in mind. Don’t use lemmy.ml as your base server unless you are a tankie extremist like then.
Why the lemmy.ml registration is closed? Is it to give a chance for other instances to grow? Or because of they cant handle the sudden new users surge?
As a neighbor, I appreciate your empty defederation list. Too many lemmy instances start off with the atom bomb instead of user or community bans in response to bad behavior from individuals.
I hope you have lots of success. This side of the fediverse really needs more intellectual diversity, and I get the feeling that's what I'll continue to see from lemmy.world.
Fantastic! When I joined the week before the reddit blackout I believe there was something like 2,000 users. Such huge growth in a short amount of time! Consider donating a few bucks monthly to help with server costs. I'm doing my part!
I’m still having challenges getting an account to actually go through at Lemmy.World. I’m able to see content from another instance, but I’m a fan of looking at “all” as it opens up a lot of great content that you might not catch otherwise, so having multiple accounts at multiple sites is something I’m planning for at this point.
Is there a way to find out which instance is defederated from which or a common list. I would not know about beeshaw defederating if not mentioned here.
How many more users could be added?
I know that lemmy has never been so popular so we can't really know, and that it will mostly depend on the hardware used, but have there already been any load tests that might give an idea?
Let's here it for ruud, and all of us! Been really enjoying chopping it up with yous. I'm glad I randomly picked lemmy.world. (: thanks to whoever put up the link in some random reddit thread!
That's great, although I'd like to see some others up there as well to keep the fediverse healthy.
Does anybody know what the hardware specs are that lemmy.world runs on? It would be nice to get an idea of the hardware requirements to scale up that far.
