Lemmy.world reaches new milestone: 100k users and counting!

I was waiting for a MicroWave thread about this 😁

Congratulations everyone for this milestone! 🥳

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

Just documenting my "I was there" moment.

What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.

And still silent on the status of Meta defederation.

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!

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?)

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...🤔

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.

Very happy to be part of this community - feels like home to me!

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.

Glad to be part of the growth. Congrats! 🎇

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.

This is awesome!!! Glad to be here before the first 100k and before the change to Voyager from WefWef.

Very nice! Long may it continue.

Chef's kiss 👩‍🍳

Fantastic!

Long live lemmy, and death to Reddit!

Congrats on the milestone! @MicroWave@lemmy.world would it be possible (if you haven't done so already) to make one for Lemmy usage across all instances (or at least the major ones)?

Can I count on 100K "Barbie" ticket sales from everyone here on Lemonworld then? (Only in theaters July 21st)

Really excited to see how this platform develops

Impressive and amazing. I expect the Fediverse will continue to grow - in terms of users, content and engagement. It is like a breath of fresh air compared with the legacy social media.

I'm doing my part!

Congrats, ya'll! 🥳

🥳

I like the i386 theme

Happy to be a part of this.

Glad to be enjoying this community and the way it's growing. Love not having ads and being free from corporate greed

It seems like it just got hacked. it just redirects now. RIP.

Awesome :D

I hope it picks up speed so i get more content like on reddit but..yeah. im very happy with the switch and its only been a day for me.

Let's go!!

And I'm all here for it!

Wait, this instance only started on June 1? How did it grow so quickly compared to the rest?

@MicroWave Wow it has grown very quickly. Last time I checked a few weeks ago I think it was around 30k

Just a beginning my friends

Let's go! :D

Niceeee, lets go to 1mil. Although not sure how some community members will react to the threads issue. I saw many people did not like the fact you have not yet decided to defederate

<3 you guys are great, truly. Love talking with you.

Very happy for Lemmy.world.

I have accounts on both Lemmy.ca and Lemmy.world and have been using both the past few weeks as servers struggled to handle the influx of users.

Not sure where I will end up but it's nice to have choices and so good to see the success.

Feels great to be a part of this community, it's so nice to see how much it's grown since the start!

Sucks for beehaw
