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!
There's likely more room for growth as several apps are still working as they move to the subscription model, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is another mini wave on the horizon!
Indeed. It makes sense it was laggy during the upscaling, but it's stabilized now and it's great to see how well Lemmy has grown. The other thing I've notes is development is currently proceeding at a frenzied pace, it feels like every few days a new feature is added, either in the main service or in the multitude of apps being developed.
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
I just switched over to lemm.ee. Much better now.
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
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.
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.
It's mad, even when it wouldn't load I felt no need to return to Deddit. Keep up the good work all.
Good for Lemmy.
Good for our friends on Kbin too! More content is good for everyone :)
I doubt it’s the performance and more the lack of content. Even copy-pastas would be good at this time.
Where can I find a lemmy community 'list like Reddit have please?
